How to Make Old Fashion Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat. Do not brown the butter.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup light corn syrup to the melted butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the warm sugar and butter mixture. Stir until well combined.
  6. Stir in 2 cups pecan halves.
  7. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  8. Bake for 50-70 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center should be slightly jiggly but not runny. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set completely and enhances the flavor.
