Ella Ween Myer's Southern Pecan Pie

Ella Ween's Pecan Pie is the dessert that is the first one to go at every family gathering. She swears, on her word not by cursing, that the Golden Eagle Syrup that make the difference. I've never had this pie with anything on it, but I'd imagine whipped cream or icecream would be nice. I just never wanted to take that long to start eating it. - jughandle

What You Will Need:

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 pie crust scratch made is best
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter - Melted and cooled
  • 1 cup Golden Eagle corn syrup - This is what makes Ella Ween's different and oh so good
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6 oz pecans - chopped
  • 4 oz pecan halves
  • 1 tsp lemon juice - this is a little acid to brighten the flavors
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp all purpose flour - to thicken the filling

Equipment Needed:

  • Large Mixing bowl
  • hand mixer
  • whisk

Method:

  • make your pie dough ahead of time
  • Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes then cool
  • preheat the oven to 350 degrees,
  • beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl with a whisk or a handheld mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer.
  • add the sugar, melted butter, Golden Eagle syrup, flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, salt, and 6 ounces of the pecans. Mix
  • Once everything is mixed well, pour the filling into a blind baked pie shell.
  • coat the pecan halves with a little Golden Eagle syrup and arrange them on top of the pie.
  • Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour; the pie filling should be fully baked in the center. It is like a custard.
  • Check your crust at 40-45 minutes and if it is getting too brown, cover with foil until the pie is fully baked in the center. A knife inserted should come out clean.
  • Let the pie cool to set the filling
  • Top with ice cream or whipped cream or both, if you can take the time.
