How to Make Pecan Pie New Orleans Style

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and ¼ cup all-purpose flour.
  3. Stir in 1 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups pecan halves.
  5. Pour the filling into two 9-inch unbaked pie crusts.
  6. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The pie should be set and slightly firm in the middle. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
