Ingredients
 
 

Pie Crust

  • 1 2/3 Cup Flour
  • 2-3 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 Stick Butter
  • 2-3 Tbsp Ice Water

Pecan Pie Filling

  • 1/4 Cup Butter melted
  • 1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Syrup corn syrup, glucose syrup , golden syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Essence
  • 1/2 tsp Mixed Spice
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 Cups Pecans roughly chopped

Instructions
 

Pie Crust

  • Add the flour, salt and sugar if using to a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the mixing bowl. Use clean dry hands to rub the butter into the flour until the pieces of butter are no larger than a pea.
  • Spoon in a few tablespoons of ice water and mix the pastry with a knife. Form the dough into a ball and knead for 30 seconds on a floured surface until smooth.
  • Wrap the pastry in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to rest.

Pie Filling

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the butter, sugar, syrup, vanilla and mixed spice.
  • Crack one egg into the bowl with the other ingredients and mix to combine. Continue with the next two. Adding one egg separately helps to loosen the batter making the next two eggs easier to incorporate.
  • Roll out your pie crust to 1/2 cm or 1/4" thick. Place the dough into a 9" pie dish and cut off any excess. Use your thumbs and finger or just a fork to decorate the edge of pie crust.
  • Pour the roughly chopped pecans into the pie dish, followed by the pie filling.
  • Bake the pecan pie in a 180C / 350F oven for 50-60 minutes or until it only slightly jiggles in the center. Leave the pie to cool completely at room temperature before transferring to the fridge overnight.
  • To serve the pie cut slices and top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
