Pecan pie is a classic dessert, particularly popular during the holidays. Its rich, buttery filling, crunchy pecans, and flaky crust make it a favorite at many tables. This recipe will guide you through creating a delicious pecan pie from scratch.
Instructions:
2. Incorporate Butter: Add the 1/2 cup of cold, cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Form Dough: Add 1 tbsp of cold water. Gently mix until the dough starts to come together. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time.
4. Chill Dough: Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
7. Prepare Pie Dish: Transfer the dough to the pie dish, gently pressing it to fit. Trim any excess dough from the edges.
9. Add Sweeteners: Add 1 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk until well combined.
10. Incorporate Pecans: Fold in 1 cup of roughly chopped pecans.
12. Bake Pie: Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any spills) and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
13. Cool the Pie: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure your butter is cold when you start making the crust; this helps create a flaky texture.
- To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, consider blind baking it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out to make it easier to handle.
- Toast the pecans lightly beforehand to enhance their natural flavor and add a bit of extra crunch.
- Keep an eye on the pie while it bakes and cover the crust edges with foil if they begin to brown too quickly.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.
Congratulations! You’ve made a delightful pecan pie that is sure to impress your family and friends. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy this classic dessert any time of the year!
