List of Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup honey
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts
9-inch pie shell, unbaked
1 cup heavy cream, whipped, optional, for garnish
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 425. Over low to medium heat, cook butter in a saucepan, watching closely but not stirring, until golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Do not burn. Pour browned butter into bowl and set aside.
2. .In food processor, blend corn syrup, honey, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Add browned butter; blend again. Add pecans and process with just a few quick on-off pulses.
3. Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 425 for 12 minutes; lower heat to 325; bake another 40 minutes. Let cool on rack. Serve, at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream on each slice.
NOTE: center of pie will still seem a bit liquid when removed from oven; it sets up further as it cools. Let cool completely; serve with a generous puff of real whipped cream.
