Pecan Pie

If you are a Pecan Pie fan, and/or if you are picky about your Pecan Pie, THIS IS THE RECIPE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!! Try it and you'll see! I like a good southern pecan pie, because they just know how to handle their pecans in the south! This is perfect!

Ingredients:
3 eggs
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cup pecans
1/3 cup melted butter
1 9" unbaked pie shell

Directions:
Beat the eggs slightly. Add in the corn syrup, sugar and salt. Stir until combined. Stir in vanilla.  Pour pecans over the top of the mixture but don't stir in yet! Pour the melted butter over the top of the pecans, covering all of them. Let this sit for up to a minute. Doing this gives the pecans a nice toasted tasted, yum! Now stir in the butter and pecans and pour into your pie shell. Bake at 375 for about 35-45 minutes, just until the pecans are glossy and set at the top of the pie. Sometimes the center of the pie will start to "erupt", where it looks as if something is trying to crawl out of the middle :) This means it is done! Cool on a wire rack until completely cooled. Then sit down and eat directly out of the pie pan or you can store in the fridge for up to a week.
