Jump to RecipeNow that you have all your ingredients gathered, it's time to get baking! Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add in the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Slowly add in the ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the overhang under and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Stir in the pecans.
Pour the filling into the chilled pie crust and smooth the top. Bake for about 50 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. If the edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
Serving Tip: For an extra special touch, top each slice of pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
With Martha Stewart's southern pecan pie recipe, you can't go wrong. The combination of the flaky crust and gooey pecan filling is simply irresistible. So next time you're in need of a dessert that will wow your guests, give this recipe a try. Your taste buds (and your guests) will thank you.
