Pecan Pie

I was going for the “random” formation technique on the crust……. really.

 
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter

2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup Karo dark corn syrup

3 eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 single crust pie pastry, unbaked

1 1/2 cups pecan halves

Directions:
1. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy; then add salt, corn syrup, eggs and vanilla.
2. Line a pie pan with pastry and sprinkle evenly with pecans.
3. Pour the filling over the pecans, covering completely.
4. Bake in a very hot oven (450 degrees F) for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F and bake an additional 35 minutes longer or until knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
