Pro Tip: Baking your Southern Pecan Pie is a breeze with the Morphy Richards 30RCSS OTG Oven on Amazon! With precise temperature control, you can bake your pie to perfection every time.
- Combine the dry ingredients: Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a big bowl. Mix them all together until they are dispersed equally.
- Add the butter and cut it in: Combine the dry ingredients with the chilled butter pieces. Work the butter into the flour mixture with your hands, a pastry cutter, or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
- Pour in the water: One spoonful at a time, gradually add three tablespoons of ice water while mixing until the dough starts to come together. A teaspoon at a time, add extra water if the dough looks too dry.
- To chill the dough: Form it into a disk, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for at least half an hour. This will lessen the likelihood that the crust will shrink in the oven.
- Roll the dough when chilled: Roll it out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured board. Move it carefully into a pie plate that is 9 inches in diameter. Crimp the edges and trim off any extra dough. While you make the filling, put the crust in the refrigerator to cool.
- Warm up the oven: Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). The Morphy Richards 30RCSS OTG Oven on Amazon! which guarantees constant heat for a gorgeously golden pie crust, is what I suggest for flawlessly uniform baking.
- Mix the moist ingredients together: Whisk the corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium-sized basin. Blend until fully blended and smooth.
- Toast the pecans: Toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are fragrant and lightly toasted. To prevent burning, stir them from time to time. After toasting, let them cool.
- Put the pecans in there: Once cooled, evenly distribute the pecans across the bottom of the chilled pie crust.
- Pie should be baked for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed, after the oven has been prepared. It should have a firm yet slightly jiggly center. To avoid burning, wrap the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if it begins to brown too soon.
- Cool the pie: Take the pie out of the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool entirely. As the pie cools, it will solidify.
