Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie
Ingredients
- your favorite 9" single pie crust, prepared
- 8 tablespoons (113g) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (30g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 2 ⅛ cup (454g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ teaspoon table salt
- 6 tablespoons (85g) milk
- 3 large eggs, whisked briefly to combine
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar or white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup (57g) pecans, diced
- 1 cup (113g) pecan halves, for topping
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Roll out the pastry and place it in a greased 9" pie pan. Crimp the edges as desired.
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the milk and eggs and beat well.
- Stir in the vinegar and vanilla, then the butter and diced pecans.
- Pour the mixture into the crust and scatter the pecan halves on top.
- Bake the pie for 47 to 50 minutes. When done, the top will be puffed up and set, and the center should just barely wobble when you jiggle the pan.
- Remove the pie from the oven (the pie will finish setting up as it sits) and cool completely before slicing.
- Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator for a day or so; freeze for longer storage.
