Hello, come on in. Welcome to my NPPD page....yep National Pecan Pie Day Page. I didn't know there was any such day until Kim, yes Kim!!! sent me this email and asked me if I'd to the NPPD...well I thought perhaps she was talking about NYPD and she had made a typo. BUT Nooooo, she actually meant National Pecan Pie Day. So grab a cup of coffee and a fork and dig in for the best pecan pie you'll ever taste.
Seasons
Texan Pecan Pie
Ingredients
2 Eggs, Slightly Beaten
1 Cup Light Karo Syrup
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1-1/4 Cups Broken Texas native pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 deg F.

Spread pecans in an unbaked 9-inch pie shell.

Mix remaining ingredients and pour over pecans.

Bake slowly at 375 deg F. until done, about 1 hour.

TIPS:

  1. Cover the edges of the pie crust with tin foil about halfway through baking to prevent crust from getting too brown before the pie is done.

  2. For best results, be sure to use only Texas native pecans. If you insist on using hybrid pecans or pecans grown in some other state, don't complain to us if you aren't happy with the way your pie turns out.

  3. Note that this recipe calls for Light Karo syrup. Many people use dark syrup in their pecan pies but we find that this gives the pies a rather strong taste and a darker, less appealing texture. Stay with the light syrup.
