Southern Pecan Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup white sugar.
02 - 1 whole unbaked pie shell.
03 - 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
04 - 1 cup light corn syrup.
05 - 1/3 cup butter, melted.
06 - 1/2 teaspoon table salt.
07 - 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar.
08 - 1 heaping cup pecans, chopped.
09 - 3 large eggs, whisked.

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 350°F and let it heat up.
02 - Place the pie dough into a 9-inch pan, smoothing it out gently.
03 - In a mixing bowl, mix together the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, syrup, melted butter, whisked eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
04 - Spread the chopped pecans evenly in the pie crust. Slowly pour the mixed filling over the nuts.
05 - Cover the top of the pie loosely with foil and place it in the oven for half an hour.
06 - Take off the foil and bake the pie for another 20-45 minutes. It should look set and not jiggle too much.
07 - Give the pie a few hours, or leave it overnight, until it’s firm and ready to slice into thin pieces.

# Notes:

01 - Total baking time runs from 50 minutes to about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
02 - When ready, the filling shouldn’t jiggle excessively.
03 - You’ll need to wait a few hours or longer before it’s firm enough to serve.
