I have to credit my Aunt Rita for this recipe (beyond that, I’m not sure where it came from… but I’m betting my paternal grandmother and great-aunt Juanita had something to do with it!)
This is the YUMMIEST pie ever. I am serious. Ask anyone in my family what their favorite pie is, and it will be this one. And, I am sharing it with you, my dear readers… just in time for Thanksgiving!
Aunt Rita’s Pecan Pie
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp flour (I use white)
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup white corn syrup
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions
- Add flour to sugar
- Add butter to sugar/flour and cream together (I use my hand mixer)
- Add slightly beaten eggs, salt, vanilla, and syrup: mix well
- Add pecans and stir
- Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake in slow 300° oven for 75 minutes (depends on your oven… begin checking after 1 hour, and then check every 10 minutes thereafter), or until pie is not “shaky”
Just so you all know, my husband did NOT want me to share this recipe… he wanted the “goods” all to himself (giggle).
