Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups corn syrup I use 1/2 dark and 1/2 light
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups pecans coarsely broken
  • 1 unbaked deep dish pie shell

Instructions

  1. In saucepan boil the sugar and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In large bowl beat the eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.
  3. At this point I like to strain the mixture to make sure it's smooth and lump free.
  4. Stir in the butter, vanilla, and pecans and pour into the crust.
  5. Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes or until set.
