Pecan Pie

I used to make the American classic pecan pie all the time in Zim - and I don’t know why I’ve stopped making it here.  It’s really easy to make if you use an all butter ready made pastry or even a partially baked pie shell (or you can make individual tarts).

Pecan Pie

50g softened butter

3 eggs

1 Tbsp flour

1 tsp vanilla

175 g caster sugar

235 mls golden syrup

1 tsp salt

200 g pecans

1 partially baked pie shell*

Beat the butter, sugar and eggs.  Stir in the syrup.  Add flour, salt and vanilla.  

Scatter the pecans into the pie shell and pour the mixture over

Bake on the bottom shelf for 40 to 50 minutes at 350F until barely (top should still feel soft to touch).

Cool.  Serve with whipped cream.
