Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie

from food.com

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups corn syrup (I use 1/2 dark and 1/2 light)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, coarsely broken
  • 1 unbaked deep dish pie shell

Directions

  1. 1

    In saucepan boil sugar and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    In large bowl beat eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    At this point I like to strain the mixture to make sure it's smooth and lump free.

  4. 4

    Stir in butter (it will melt when stirred into warm mixture), vanilla, and pecans and pour into crust.

  5. 5

    Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes or until set.
