Sounds good and easy, but what size pie crust is needed for this?

TIA

@joann1218  I used to make pecan pie for my dad whenever he wanted one. It didn't have to be at the Holidays. I remember baking them for him in the summer for BBQ's. It went well with a smoked pulled porkbutt sandwich.

I always used dark Karo corn syrup and dark brown sugar. I would lightly toast the pecans in a non oiled cast iron frying pan for a few minutes.

Good luck with your maiden attempt. I'm sure it will come out great.

@joann1218 ...............I have made them with both.  I dont see or taste much of a difference.  With the dark pie is a little darker in color and a little heavier taste.  Both are good, its more of a personal taste.

I always use light Karo syrup - been making this pie for years.

I use a regular 9" crust.

My husband uses a maple flavored thick pancake syrup for his award winning pecan pies.  And he uses white sugar.

I don't use corn syrup in my pecan pie:

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup butter, melted

2 room-temperature eggs

1 tbsp flour

1 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Beat eggs until foamy and stir in butter.  Mix in sugars and flour.  Mix in milk, vanilla, and 1 cup nuts.  Pour into unbaked pie shell and sprinkle rest of nuts on top.  Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake for 45 minutes until set.

This sounds interesting. I will have to try it sometime. No Karo syrup so less sugar is a great option IMO.

Is this not so overly sweet as pecan pie can be?

I only eat it at Thanksgiving & Christmas.

Easiest pie in the world to make.  I prefer light corn syrup as I don't care for a strong molasses taste.  I also prefer to use broken pecans rather than halves.  Easier to cut.

@joann1218  I LOVE pecan pie! It's my most favorite pie. That being said, I've made it with both light and dark corn syrup. I prefer the dark corn syrup, which gives it that really rich pie filling taste.

@Nightowlz  This recipe does seem to make a less sweet-tasting pie than those available commercially.
