Pecan Pie For A Holiday Crowd
For First Step:
2 cups flour (no need to sift)
1 cup softened butter (2 sticks, 1/2 pound)
3/4 cup loosely packed brown sugar
For Second Step:
5 beaten eggs (just whip them up with a fork)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 and 1/2 cups white corn syrup (I use Karo)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups roughly chopped pecans
1/8 cup flour (that's 2 Tablespoons)
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, rack in the middle position
First Step: Cream softened butter with brown sugar and add flour. Mix well. Spread 3 cups of this mixture in a greased 9 by 13 inch cake pan and pat it down with your hands. Reserve the rest for a crumb topping. (You can use cold butter if you divide each stick into 8 pieces and zoop everything up with the steel blade of your food processor.)
Bake the crust at 350 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. DON'T TURN OFF THE OVEN!
Second Step: Beat the eggs and mix them with the brown sugar. Add the melted butter and stir it all up. Then mix in the white corn syrup, salt, and pecan pieces. Now add the flour and mix thoroughly.
Pour this mixture over the crust you just baked. Sprinkle the reserved crust mixture from the first step on top. (At this point you can carefully decorate the
top with a few half pecans, if you want to make it fancier. I don't bother. With something this good, you don't need decoration.)
Bake at 350 degrees F. for another 30 to 35 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack. Once the pan is cool to the touch, refrigerate it until ready to serve.
To serve, cut the Pecan Pie into 16 pieces. You can top these with whipped cream if you like, but they don't really need it.
