Pecan Pie recipe

Most recipes seem to need Karo syrup. But since I live in a Karo-free zone (Germany), I like this recipe. It has NEVER failed. 1 cup sugar (I sometimes use half and half brown and white) 2 beaten eggs 6 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup milk 1 cup pecans (I usually use about 1 1/2 cups) 1/2 cup raisins (definitely optional! But this is really good using dried cranberries or chopped candied ginger.) Melt the butter in the milk. Spread nuts and fruit in the unbaked pie shell (see below). Beat sugar and eggs into the milk mixture and pour over the nuts/fruit. Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. cool before serving. Pie crust: 6 tablespoons butter 1-2 tablespoons sugar (If you want to use this for e.g. a quiche, leave out the sugar and give it a pinch of salt instead.) 1 cup flour (Place a tablespoon of cornstarch in the bottom of the cup before measuring -makes a lighter pastry.) Cut these ingredients together (or use a food processor) until it resembles fine crumbs. Then add just enough cold water to hold it together. The dough shouldn't be sticky. The amount of water depends very much on humidity -sorry! But a spoonful is usually enough in my humid climate. Let the dough rest for half an hour before you roll it out. Roberta in D Thank you Roberta for the syrup free version. I was looking at the others wondering what substitution to make. Now I don't need to. What sized pie dish do you make with the pastry?

Pecan Pie recipe
Thank you all for the recipes! I made two pecan pies tonight from a
recipe that was emailed to me. I surely want to try some of the others. I'm interested in making the one that has no Karo in it. Some of the filling ended up under part of the crust. No worries, it is still delicious! I'm so full from sweet richness, it may be a while before I make another one. I love to bake, but it always makes we gain weight when I do, unless I give it away! Cheers, Mary O'Neill |

Roberta in D Thank you again - I made this last night, but cheated with a pre-made pie shell from the supermarket, and the filling JUST fitted in. The pie was a success in the making and the eating. I used dried cranberries and found that their tartness contrasts very pleasingly with the sweetness of the filling. When less pressed for time I will do the whole thing from scratch. Lizzy |

Pecan Pie recipe
Hi Roberta,
Next time I make this I'd like to document the process and write it up on Instructables ( http://www.instructables.com/ )for all those who, like us, live in the Karo-free part of the world. May I have your permission to do so? It was most successful and went down well! Lizzy On 12/01/2011 15:12, Roberta wrote: Most recipes seem to need Karo syrup.
