How to Make Tujague's Pecan Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large glass bowl, whisk together the eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk in the sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and armagnac, ensuring everything is well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the pecans.
  5. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center may still jiggle slightly.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
