Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

Susan is back to share her Southern Pecan Pie!  In my house we bake pies pretty much only during Thanksgiving and Christmas.  

Everyone likes something different.  The boys like my Mom’s Chocolate Pie, Hubby likes his Mom’s Lemon Pie, and our daughter and my Father in law love their pecan pie!

Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

All year long, we look forward to the holiday feasts that come at the end of every year. We all have the favorites we hope will be at the table, but one popular dish always there is pie, but not just any pie will do you need a pecan pie. I can’t remember when I didn’t have a slice on Christmas or Thanksgiving. It just wouldn’t be the holidays without it.

Everyone has their own interpretation of a classic pecan pie. I once knew someone who would grind up the pecans and mix them with the filling instead of laying them on top. But that’s not the one we’re talking about. Today is about the no-fail Southern Pecan Pie Recipe. YUM!

So, check out Susan’s Southern Pecan Pie recipe!  You won’t be disappointed!

Southern Pecan Pie ( N.E. Texas Style) Ingredient

• 3 Egg
• 2/3 cup Sugar
• 1 cup White Karo Syrup (I use Blackburn’s from Jefferson Texas) 
• 1/3 cup Melted Butter (not margarine)
• 2 cups Pecan Halves
• Dash of Salt
• 1 tsp Grandma’s Molasses (optional)

Directions:
Beat eggs and sugar.  Add other ingredients and mix well (except pecans). 

Place the pecans in unbaked pie shell and pour the rest on top.

Place the pecans in unbaked pie shell and pour the rest on top.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until done. 

My oven took 50 minutes but I had to cover it for the last 10 minutes to keep it from getting too brown.  I leave my pecans in halves because my husband prefers it that way.  It sort of makes it taste like it is covered in sugared pecans.
