Pecan Pie

Yet another recipe Mom has been making since I can remember but I don't know the origin of. The Robber specifically requested pecan pie for Thanksgiving, and although this came out of the oven a little overdone due to general hectic-ness, he still ate almost the entire pie before he left! He loved it, and that is good enough for me.

Ingredients:

1/4 c butter

1 c light corn syrup

1 c brown sugar

3 large eggs, beaten

1/2 t lemon juice

1 t vanilla

1/2 t salt

1 1/2 c whole pecans

cinnamon

Unbaked pie crust

Directions:

1. In separate bowl, add corn syrup, sugar, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, salt. In saucepan, brown butter till golden brown-- don't burn. When butter is ready, add browned butter to the corn syrup mixture.

2. Roll pecans in cinnamon, coating well, and arrange in bottom of pie crust. Pour mixture over pecans. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes, then 325 for 45-50 minutes.

Consider reducing sugar/corn syrup if too sweet for your taste.
