White House Pecan Pie

Course: Pies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Butter
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Cup Dark Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 Cups Pecans Coarsely Chopped
  • 1 Unbaked 9-Inch Pie Shell

Instructions

  • Allow the butter to stand in a covered medium mixing bowl at room temperature until it is extremely soft.
  • Add sugar, corn syrup, salt and vanilla; with a sturdy hand, rotary beater or mixing spoon, beat until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and beat gently until just blended. Fold in pecans. Pour into pie shell.
  • Bake in moderate (375 degree) oven on the rack directly below the center rack until top is toasted brown and filling is set in center when pie is gently shaken, about 40 to 50 minutes. Pastry edge should be browned and the bottom of the pastry a pale gold. If top of pie gets very dark toward end of baking time, place a tent of foil over it. Cool on wire rack. If desired, serve with unsweetened whipped cream.
