Holy cow, do I miss it.
The local newspaper I grew up reading has a Dear Abby column in it. The
Aside from the usual advice about pets and stepkids coming between marriages, sometimes Dear Abby prints recipes. We found this recipe years ago (think: 2002), and I've been making it ever since.*
Pecan Pie
from Dear Abby
9-inch unbaked pie crust (I usually use Pillsbury.)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup melted butter
1/2 t. salt
1 t. vanilla
1 cup pecan halves
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, corn syrup, eggs, butter, salt, and vanilla. Whisk very well. Place your pie crust into a 9-in pie pan. Pour the sugar mixture into the crust. Sprinkle the pecan halves over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes. I start checking at 40. Mine is usually set up nicely around 45 minutes. (This is in an electric oven. I haven't tried gas. I also cover my crust edges with foil to prevent over-browning.)
*Ever since applies to life "B.A.", Before Alaska. Because why would I make a pie just for myself? No need for that to be sitting around waiting for me to eat the filling out of it.

ReplyDeleteI miss Dear Abby. I think she's still in our paper, but we only get it on weekends. And it's just not the same anymore. This pecan pie looks awesome! I love pecan pie. Yum!
