How to Make Kentucky Race Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup light corn syrup, and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup all-purpose flour until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup pecan halves and ½ cup chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the pecan and chocolate chip mixture evenly between two 9-inch unbaked pie crusts.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the nut and chocolate chip mixture in each pie crust.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center of the pie is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
