Nanny's Pecan Pie

This recipe is near and dear to my heart because its my Nanny's. Her church's cookbook is the closest I've gotten to learning how to cook from her since she passed away when i was little. The pecan pie recipe featured is my favorite because the company that printed the cookbooks forgot to add one of her ingredients so she had to hand write it in, making it all the more special to me. It's in my Nanny's loving memory that i share her favorite pecan pie:


Ingredients:

  •  2 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups broken pecans
  • 1 cup dark karo syrup 

Directions:

  1. Cream butter and sugar until light. Add eggs, well beaten, then flour, salt, vanilla, syrup and pecans.
  2. Pour into 9'' pie shell and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes
  3. Reduce heat to 350 degrees for about 25 minutes longer.(or until set)
