Aunt Beaufort's Pecan PieI remember growing up in the 50's, that for all the family reunions and church picnics, my Great Aunt Beaufort always brought her homemade pecan pies. they were a favorite among many, including myself. I grabbed a piece just as soon as I could, because I knew they would get gone quickly.

A couple of years ago, her granddaughter gave me the recipe. It calls for ingredients like a pinch of salt and butter the size of a large egg and just a few instructions as to how to put it together.

Her pies were always thin so I assumed she made 2 pies with this recipe. I have made several of the pies and all have been good. I have finally gotten it to taste like what I remember as a child.

For me, it has to be gluten free. I use a gluten free pie crust mix purchased from Wal-mart.

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 2 pies

Ingredients:

  • 2 pie shells (I used gluten free)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup Karo dark corn syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 Tbsp butter (melted)
  • dash of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups broken pecans

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Bake 2 pie crusts slightly (approximately 10 minutes)
  3. Beat eggs with a fork. Add sugar, Karo Syrup, salt, vanilla and melted butter and beat well with the fork.
  4. Pour batter into 2 slightly baked pie crusts.

  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of pecans all over each pie.
  7. Bake 350 degrees F until pie thickens and browns, approximately 30 minutes.
  8. Cool before slicing.

How do I use a store bought pie crust for my pecan pies, and make it so they do not stick or get too brown on top?

If you mean the store pie shells already in an aluminum pan:

Avoiding the crust sticking to the pan-You can try to remove the shell from the pan and spray Pam on the pan (may break the shell).

Avoiding too much browning on the edge-You can simply cut strips of aluminum foil and lightly mold the strips around the edge of the shell to avoid further browning when the color is to your liking. There are also metal baking rings available for this purpose

I made two pecan pies and the syrup went under the crust while baking, can you tell me what I did wrong? I did prick the crust with fork before pouring the syrup mix. Thank you. I don't have a picture, we ate it any way.

Try making a Southern Chess Pie. It's a pecan pie that uses brown sugar instead of syrup. Trust me, it's just as good.
