Pecan Pie

This was the first Pecan Pie I ever made, and it was (and is every time) such a hit, that it's my go to pie every time.
This recipe is for 1 9" pie.

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy, and stir in melted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, white sugar and the flour; mix well. Last add the milk, vanilla and nuts.
  3. Pour into an unbaked 9" pie shell. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done. The easiest way for me to usually tell if the pie is done or not is to gently shake the pie. If the center is jiggling, then it probably needs more time. It's ok if it's a little jiggly, as it will set up as it cools.
  4. Allow the pie atleast an hour to cool before serving.
  5. Serve with your favorite pie topping. For this one, my favorite is a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
