Ingredients

• 110 grams Unsalted Butter
• 200 grams Pecan Halves
• 150 grams Light Brown Sugar
• 50 grams Granulated Sugar
• 3 pieces Large Eggs
• 180 ml Dark Corn Syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 piece Prepared Pie Crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pecan halves and toast them for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Slowly stir the melted butter (from toasting the pecans) into the mixture, ensuring it's fully incorporated.

Step 5

Arrange the toasted pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared pie crust.

Step 6

Pour the filling mixture over the pecans, ensuring all nuts are covered and the filling distributes evenly.

Step 7

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they start to brown too quickly.

Step 8

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack, allowing the filling to fully set.

Step 9

Slice and serve the butter pecan pie at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
