List of Ingredients




Pastry shell:
1 ½ cups flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter flavored shortening
3-5 tablespoons cold water

Filling:
¾ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
¾ dark corn syrup
1 tablespoon Bourbon
2 tablespoons melted butter
3 eggs slightly beaten
1 ½ cup of pecan halves



Recipe



For pastry shell:
Sift together flour and salt. Cream together shortening and dry ingredients. Add enough water [3-5 tablespoons] to moisten dough without making it sticky. Form into ball on lightly floured surface and roll from center to edges into a circle 1/8” thick. Place into 9” pie plate, fitting loosely on bottoms and side. Flute edges with fingers or crimp with fork. Keep in refrigerator until ready to add filling.

For filling:
Mix together brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cornstarch. To this mixture, add corn syrup, Bourbon, and melted butter. Stir until blended well. Add eggs and stir gently. Fold in pecans. Pour filling into unbaked pastry shell. Bake in preheated 350° oven for one hour, covering pie with foil during last 10 minutes of baking. Cool completely before serving.
