How to Make Dixie Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 cups pecan halves.
  5. Pour the filling into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
  6. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C) without opening the oven door. Continue baking for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
