Makes TWO pies. I use Pillsbury frozen crust (following their directions for thaw). Trim the strips that overlap the sides and sprawl across the top of the pie. It slows the "suddenly burned syndrome", by providing a kind of done indicator The pie is done when knife comes out clean from center, and still might have a bit of "jiggle" to it. Read more It will also go from perfect to burnt if you don't keep an eye on it after about 40 mins. Using "whole" pecans makes neat slices impossible, so maybe chop pecans for that reason. Some people get a little carried away with the chopping. I know of a savage group that just use an ice cream spade to dig into the pie straight out of the oven and put Ice Cream on it. The pies never have a chance to cool, and then they're gone. See less

How to make it
- Thaw and position the pie crust in deep dish 9" pans. Fork the pie crust sides and bottom to prevent bubbling.
- Preheat oven to 425F/218C (Later will reduce to 325F/162C).
- Brown the butter until golden brown in sauce pan and set aside. Let cool until warm, but don't forget about it!
- Mix all other ingredients together in order listed.
- (Don't forget to) Add the browned butter.
- Pour mix into two pie shell pans.
- Place on a cookie sheet in case there is overflow, unless it is easier to clean the oven.
- Bake at 425F/218C for 10 minutes
- Lower to 325F/162C for 70 minutes. (That is what the recipe says, but mine are done in 40 minutes.)
- As noted above, watch them after about 35 minutes because of the rapid transition from "what a lovely brown" to "they seem to have darkened considerably".
