No Corn Syrup Pecan Pie

[Pluff Mudder]

Description: Don't like a gummy pecan pie that you think is going to pull the fillings out of your teeth? Well, this is the one for you! Rich and creamy.

Serving Size: 6 to 8 unless you're feeding my DH, then it's 3 to 4

Time:

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

1. 1/2 cup white sugar
   
2. 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
   
3. 1-1/2 cups light brown sugar
   
4. Pinch of salt
   
5. 2 T. sifted AP flour
   
6. 3 whole eggs, beaten
   
7. 1/2 cup half n' half
   
8. 1 cup pecans, either whole or broken (I like the broken because it's easier to cut the pie.)
   
9. Single 9-inch pie crust, unbaked

Preparation:

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
   
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sugars, salt, flour and half n' half and beat until well blended.
   
3. Stir in the melted butter and pecans and mix well.
   
4. Pour the mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie shell and bake until the filling is cooked but still soft in the middle when you give it a little wiggle, about 45 to 60 minutes depending on your oven.
   
5. Cool pie on a rack, chill, cut, eat and enjoy!

I will have to try this. Have you ever done it as the tart cookie sized bites?

[Pluff Mudder]

Yep, but it's been a long time. Did them in the cream cheese tart shells that I made and tamped down into a large-size muffin tin.

[Food Network Fan]

Did they turn out okay?

[Pluff Mudder]

From what I remember (it's been a long time) they did find. Just had to keep a close eye on them because I wasn't sure how fast they would bake being so small.

[Food Network Fan]

That's true. I might give it a shot closer to Christmas.

How sweet is it?

The first and only time that I made one at all, it was wicked sweet!

[Pluff Mudder]

That depends on the individual's taste. What might be over-sweet to you may not be to me. To me, it's not as syrupy sweet as some pecan pies, but it's rich.

[Bentley Green]

Probably have to try it to know what it's like.

Pecan pie should be pretty sweet, that is how it is traditionally.

The one I made the other day was quite sweet, but still wonderful, very buttery, caramely! (oh look I just made up a word!)
