One of the hallmarks of traditional American cuisine (also a fall/winter favorite) is the classic pecan pie. It consists of a thin pastry crust that is topped with a mixture of eggs, butter, flour, a sweetener such as brown sugar, syrup, or molasses, and a handful of halved or chopped pecans. You could also make variations as per your taste by adding coffee or chocolate. Either way it’s heaven in a baking dish.
Here is an easy homemade recipe of the Classic American Pecan Pie, also a fall favourite to pep up your weekend.
Ingredients :
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups pecan halves or pieces
1 (9-inch) unbaked OR frozen deep-dish pie crust (you can get it from a bakery)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spatula. Stir in pecans and pour the mixture into pie crust in the pie tin.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Cool for at least 2 hours (ideally on wire rack) before serving.
