Bourbon-Brown Butter Pecan Pie image

Shortening makes for the flakiest pie crust. But you won't miss the buttery flavor-there's plenty in the filling.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust:
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more
3/4 cup vegetable shortening
Assembly:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup pure cane syrup (such as Steen's) or dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons bourbon
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cinnamon
2 cups pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Crust:
  • Whisk salt and 1 1/2 cups flour in a medium bowl. Using a fork, work in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Mix in 2 tablespoons cold water and knead until dough just comes together.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until about 1/4" thick. Fold in half, then in half again (so that it's folded into quarters); roll out to a 12" round. Transfer to a 9" pie dish. Lift up edges and let dough slump down into dish. Trim, leaving about 1" overhang. Fold edges under and crimp. Freeze while you make the filling.
  • Assembly:
  • Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat oven to 425°F. Cook butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, then browns, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; let cool slightly. Whisk in eggs, brown sugar, honey, cane syrup, bourbon, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon until smooth; fold in pecans. Scrape filling into pie crust.
  • Bake pie 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and continue to bake until crust is golden brown and filling jiggles only slightly in the center, 40-45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let
  • Chill until firm, at least 4 hours.

This was the first time I've ever made pecan pie and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the pie was delicious. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this pie again.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time. Otherwise, the pie was delicious. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful.

This pie was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the filling was runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this pie again.

I'm not a huge fan of pecan pie, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The pie was delicious, and the filling was not too sweet. I will definitely be making this pie again.
