Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie

- 65 minutes to make
- Serves 6
My entire life I have made one pecan pie recipe. This is not it. I decided to try a new recipe and I was out of vanilla, Germans are famous for vanilla sugar. I thought that was what I was adding. Instead I added vanilla sauce. Read more OOPS! I was afraid it would not be good and I could not take it out! Let me tell you this is delicious and a great mistake! If you can not find the vanilla sauce, I am sure you can use a small box of vanilla pudding. I think there are recipes that they do add vanilla pudding. Don't fear the goo inside the pie is still clear but thick and coats the pecans like candy! This is awesome. I think so anyway! See less
Ingredients
- The secret to this rich pie is cooking the sugar and corn syrup first. It is definately not diet food! shopping list
- 1 hour 5 minutes shopping list
- 1 cup sugar shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups corn syrup (I use 1/2 dark and 1/2 light) shopping list
- 1 packet of german vanilla sauce. (adding this dry...do not make it up into a sauce) shopping list
- 4 eggs shopping list
- 1/4 cup butter shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (or german vanilla sauce in place of it) shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, coursely broken (I leave them whole, so pretty when baked) shopping list
- 1 unbaked pie shell shopping list
How to make it
- In saucepan boil sugar and in the vanilla sauce(adding dry) and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
- In large bowl beat eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.
- At this point I like to strain the mixture to make sure it's smooth and lump free.
- Stir in butter, vanilla only if you don't use vanilla sauce, and pecans and pour into crust.
- Tip to perfect pie crusts: warm pie filling goes into warm shell...cold filling cold shell...keeps it crispy.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until set.
- The secret to this rich pie is cooking the sugar and corn syrup first. It is definately not diet food! The topping becomes candy like.
- 1 hour 5 minutes
- Vanilla sauce is Dr. Oetker's Brand. Find it in the ethnic section. It is a german vanilla sauce.
