Easy and Delicious Pecan Pie
The Easy Schmeasy Pie Crust (it makes a huuuge difference in how tasty this pie is... and all other pies! lol!)
Easy Peasy Pie Crust
This is the easiest pie crust, ever -- make it right in the pie plate, no rolling, just mix and press with your fingers.... and it's excellent for a low cholesterol diet... very low in fat and sugar, so great for diabetics, too... I love it because it's fast & easy (much like myself! lol!), delicious, and no lard -- ick!! The trick is to mix the milk with the oil -- I just shake it in a jar, or put the milk and oil in a glass, cover with plastic wrap, shake shake shake! Fun to make with the kids, too! https://buildyourownhousebodylife.blogspot.com/2010/10/piecrust-easy-schmeasy-pie-crust.html
Ingredients:
3 Eggs, beaten (now what did they do to you?? haha!) (7 eggs for the 3 pies... 2 large, one small pies)
1 cup Corn Syrup (2 1/2 cups for the said 3 pies...)
3/4 cup Brown Sugar (2 cups for 3 pies...I think you see where that is going...!)
1/4 Cup Butter, then melt it... (slightly over a 1/2 cup butter for the 3 pies...)
1 teaspoon Vanilla (3 tsp. vanilla for the 3 pies... I'm like a broken record... remember those?? lol!)
Pecans... maybe about a cup per pie... I used a large bag o pecans for all three pies... enough to cover the bottom of the Pie Shell
Get all yer ingredients together, first (seems like a Good Idea!), and your pie plates. I normally like to use glass pie plates, and the deeper, the better (insert bad joke, here... buh-dum-bum...), but when I'm making pies for the Church, it's easier to use tin foil pie plates. If you're using the glass or 'regular' pie plates, make the pie crust right in the pie plate, but I found that it was too tricky with the foil pie plates, so I poured the flour mixture into a glass bowl to mix, so I wouldn't frustrate meself! (See how I watch out for my sanity like that?? haha!)

In a large bowl, crack and beat the eggs
Add the Corn Syrup, stir relatively slowly (mostly to prevent spillage!)
Add in the Brown Sugar (whisk with a spoon or fork, if you feel like it...)
Add the Vanilla
Cut the Butter, then melt in the microwave for about 40 seconds, let cool, and stir into mixture. (Good idea to cool the butter, on account'a you don't want to cook the eggs! haha!)
Now you will have a delicious looking big bowl of caramel, basically! Yum! You'll be pleased with what that looks like, already...:)
Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees Farenheit

| Hilarious when the pecans 'float' to the top! |

| Almost done! |
I always put my pies on another cookie sheet, so the bottom is protected, and had tin foil at the ready, to cover the pie when it is half-way done, so the pie crust won't burn... no need to be fancy, just pull off a square of aluminium foil enough to cover the top of the pie...
Bake for about 35 minutes - 45 minutes, but check after 20 minutes, or so, to see if the pies need to be covered... they should be 'set' by then, so the tin foil won't stick to the top...
You'll know when they're ready when they are lightly brown and no wiggling! haha!
And then, if you still want even more delicious Pie... my fave Peach Pie! Yay! Deeeelish!
Let the pie cool down, then pop it in the fridge to cool down completely. This is another pie, like my favorite, favorite Peach Pie, that tastes better the colder it gets... and, of course, serve with delicious whip cream!! Yum!
