Ultimate Pecan Pie Recipe: A Southern Classic

Ingredients

• 1.75 cups white sugar
• 0.25 cup dark corn syrup
• 0.25 cup butter
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 3 eggs eggs
• 1.25 cups chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for baking.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, water, and cornstarch over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs until they become frothy. Gradually incorporate the sugar-syrup mixture while continuing to beat. Gently fold in the pecans, vanilla extract, and salt.

5. Allow the pecan pie to cool completely to room temperature before slicing and serving.
