"Nearly 15 years ago, I was honored at a dinner party at the Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky. Pecan pie was served for dessert. But what pecan pie! Never had I tasted anything so delicious. After dinner, I went to the
kitchen to congratulate the pastry chef. He was so pleased, he gave me the recipe. I tried it at home. Mine was every bit as good as his. And it was so easy to make, that I wrote and asked permission to share the recipe with
my readers. He cooperated, and I published it. Notes came by the thousands saying, "That was the best pecan pie my family has ever tasted." So here it is: from a Dear Abby column.
1 cup White corn syrup
1 cup packed Dark brown sugar
1/3 teaspoon Salt
1/3 cup Butter; melt
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3 Eggs; slightly beaten
1 Heaping cup whole pecans
Unbaked 9" pie crust
Combine syrup, sugar, salt, butter and vanilla and mix well.
Add slightly beaten eggs.
Pour into unbaked pie shell.
Sprinkle pecans over all.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 45 minutes.
When cool, you may top with whipped cream or ice cream. but nothing tops this!
Yield: 6 Servings
Note: Although this states a 9-inch pie crust, I used a 9-inch deep shell pie. It didn't
fill it all the way up,a little 1/2 over, but by the time the pie was done it was clear to
the top. I baked it for about 10 minutes longer than the 45 minutes.
