Simple Pecan Pie
This is my father-in-laws favorite dessert. He came for lunch today, so we just had to have Pecan Pie.
1 pie crust (either from scratch or The Great Value brand is awesome for store bought)
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup cairo syrup
3 tablespoons of butter, melted
1 1/2 cups of clean shelled pecans
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Place your pie crust in pie plate. Make the edges thick as possible and pretty. I like to roll mine under and then crimp them with my finger tips.
In a small glass bowl, nuke your butter in the microwave to melt it. (Try not to blow it all over the microwave like I usually do)
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, syrup, and vanilla.
Whisk in melted butter.
Spread pecans in bottom of pie crust.
Pour mix over the top of pecans.
Bake in oven for about 45 minutes.
To check for doneness, giggle pie plate on oven rack. If the center moves, it's not done. Let it cook a few minutes more. Every ones oven is a little different so just keep an eye on it. Sometimes if it needs a little more I will set the timer for like 3 minutes, so I won't forget about it.
And this is what the pie looks like after you husband cuts it before you take a picture.
