"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to make this delicious pecan pie. First we are going to talk about the ingredients that we need today. The most important ingredients for any pie is going to be the pie crust, this has already been made and already rolled out ready to go into our pie pan. Of course for our pecan pie pecans are incredibly important, this is the main flavoring agent of the pie. It will give it lots of crunch. The other ingredients that will make up the body of the pie are eggs, corn syrup for sweeten, butter and sugar. The corn syrup that I've gotten has vanilla in it so we don't need to add vanilla extract as well. Once we add all of these ingredients together we'll have a delicious pecan pie for your Thanksgiving table."
