Pecan pie

Pecan pie is a classic dessert that's perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or simply indulging your sweet tooth. Combining a flaky crust with a rich, nutty filling, this treat is sure to be a hit. Using a blend of maple syrup, brown sugar, and butter, this recipe enhances the natural sweetness of the pecans for an unforgettable experience.

Ingredients:

2.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
310g
1/4 cup butter
54g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
3 eggs
150g
1 tbsp water
16g
1 cup maple syrup
230g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 cup pecans
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Add the chilled butter pieces, and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Roll Out the Crust:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough.
- Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining eggs, maple syrup, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Stir in the pecans until evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the pecan filling into the prepared crust.
6. Bake the Pie:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center should be firm but slightly jiggly.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This helps the filling to set properly.
8. Enjoy:
- Slice and enjoy your delicious homemade pecan pie! Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to mix, as this helps in blending them more smoothly.

- For a flakier crust, try using cold butter chopped into small pieces.

- To prevent the edges of your pie crust from burning, cover them with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield after the first 15 minutes of baking.

- Lightly toast the pecans before mixing them into the filling to enhance their flavor.

- Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets properly.

With the right balance of sweet and nutty flavors, your homemade pecan pie will be a showstopper at any event. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent dessert. Enjoy your delicious creation and the compliments you'll receive!
