PECAN PIE FOR TWO



Pecan Pie for Two image

PECAN PIE was always requested by the family for special occasions. When we became empty nesters, it was hard to give up some of our family favorites when we found that leftovers were too much for the two of us. Smaller recipes were hard to come by, so I was delightful to find this one. Now we can have pecan pie - fresh - just for the two of us. -Noreen Johnson, Leesburg, Florida

Tips:

  • Use a 9-inch pie plate for a classic pecan pie size. A 10-inch pie plate can also be used for a larger pie, but the filling may not be as thick.
  • Blind bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use light corn syrup for the filling. Dark corn syrup will give the pie a darker color and a stronger flavor.
  • Stir the filling constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from burning.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will give the filling time to set.
