Anyone have an AWESOME pecan pie recipe?

[purplerose]

I sooooooooo LOVE pecan pie and I want to make one from scratch this year. Everyone tells me how easy it is to make, but I don't have a recipe besides the one on the Karo syrup bottle. :giggle

Here it is! Adapted from Betty Crocker:


2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup melted butter, cooled
1 cup corn syrup (I use half light/half dark)
1/2 t. salt
3 eggs
1 generous cup pecan halves or broken pieces

pastry for 9" crust (but the smaller 9" pans--I have deep 9" pyrex pie pans that this recipe gets lost in. If you use one of those, increase the recipe.)

Heat oven to 375. Prepare pastry. Mix sugar, butter, corn syrup, salt and eggs with hand beater. (Don't beat it.) Stir in pecans. Pour into pastry.

Bake until set, 40 to 50 minutes. I flute the crust. Cool and refrigerate til cold, at least 2 hours.

Pecan pie is a fav around here so I make at least twp every Thanksgiving. I was given this new recipe and tried it this year. It was a HUGE hit. I think I was thanked at least 10 times for making it :giggle It is the most simple but the best I have ever tasted.
