How to Make Homemade Pecan Pie

This article will teach you how to make homemade pecan pie.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 Cup of Sugar
• 6 Tablespoons of Butter
• 3 Eggs Beaten
• 1/2 Cup of Caro Syrup
• 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla
• 1 Cup of Pecans (Halves or Pieces)
• 1 9 Inch Frozen Pie Shell (unbaked)
• 1 Mixing Bowl
• Mixer
• Aluminum Foil
• Oven Preheated to 350 Degrees F

1. 

   Use mixer to mix together in mixing bowl 1 cup of sugar, 6 tablespoons of butter, 3 eggs beaten, 1/2 cup of corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring. Preheat you oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 

   You can either mix in the 1 cup of pecans or you can save them to put on the top halfway through baking. I prefer the pecans on top of the pie not mixed all the way through. This is strictly your preference. If you want to put them in now go ahead and make sure to mix thoroughly.

3. 

   Cover the pie in aluminum foil. This will protect the crust from getting burnt and take it off after letting pie bake for 30 minutes. Bake pie for 15 more minutes (total of 45 minutes) or until you can put knife into pie and it comes out clean.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't overcook the pie or the pecans will be burnt.
• Be sure when you take the aluminium foil off of the pie for the last 10 - 15 minutes you use an oven mitt so you do not burn your hand.
