1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 tablespoon flour (any flour will do)
1 tablespoon milk (you could use non-dairy milk, i don't think it would matter, it's just for the moisture)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans
- preheat oven to 400*
- beat the eggs until they are foamy
- stir in the melted butter; stir in the flour and sugars; stir in the milk, vanilla and nuts
- pour into your pie shell and
- bake @ 400* for 10 minutes to get the top crusty then @ 350* for 30-40 minutes until it's done
mmmmmmm.... yumm.
ReplyDeletei miss pecans. for whatever reason they're just not popular over here and very hard to find and expensive.
the crust though... soooooo easy!
i just made two pies today and the crust worked perfectly.
i used whole wheat flour, a bit of butter, a bit of sugar, a dash of salt a bit of baking soda and however much cold water i needed. mix all ingredients minus the water and then knead in the water to get a nice firm but mold-able dough. wrap in foil and put in fridge for at least half an hour. (i usually do overnight)
roll out between two sheets of wax paper. peel off one piece of paper. then put your pie pan upside down on the rolled out dough. flip the paper-dough-pie pan sandwich over. gently push paper and crust down into the pan and peel of the paper. super easy. :)
depending on the filling you may want to prebake and possibly egg seal the crust before adding the filling.
Oh this sounds great I always hated the traditional recipe with all the corn syrup. Can't wait to try
