Mom's Pecan Pie
This is from an old Better Homes and Gardens recipe. The original recipe called for 1 C pecans, and Mom always doubled the pecans for a less gooey sweet pie.
1/4 C butter
1/2 C sugar
1 C dark corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
3 eggs
2 C pecan halves (do not cut)
9 inch pie shell (I sometimes use 3 smaller tart shells (5 inches at the base, 6 inches at the rim)
Cream butter and sugar in mixer - add syrup and salt. Add eggs one at a time - beat - then stir in pecans. Fill pie crust with mixture and bake.
350 degree oven - 50 minutes.
Freezes well. David N loves this pie!
