The Perfect Pecan Pie Filling
Ingredients:
1 unbaked pie crust
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup brown sugar
3 large eggs, beaten
1/3 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
Before we dive into the instructions, it's important to note that the key to a perfect pecan pie filling is the balance of sweetness and nuttiness. Using light corn syrup and brown sugar in equal amounts helps achieve this balance, while the melted butter and vanilla extract add depth of flavor.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the chopped pecans and mix until they are evenly coated in the filling mixture.
Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Pro Tip: To prevent the pie crust from burning, cover the edges with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking.
Variations:
While this recipe is for a classic southern pecan pie filling, there are a few variations you can try to mix things up:
For a chocolate pecan pie, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the filling mixture before pouring it into the crust.
If you prefer a less sweet filling, use dark corn syrup instead of light, and reduce the amount of brown sugar to 3/4 cup.
For a boozy twist, add 1-2 tablespoons of bourbon to the filling mixture before baking.
Now that you have a professional and well-organized recipe for southern pecan pie filling, it's time to put it to the test. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgent dessert. Your friends and family will be impressed with your baking skills and will be asking for the recipe in no time!
So go ahead and gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to create a mouthwatering southern pecan pie that will be the talk of the town. Happy baking!
