Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) All-purpose flour
- ½ tsp (3g) Fine sea salt
- ½ cup (113g) Unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
- 4 tbsp (60ml) Ice water
- 2 cups (200g) Raw pecan halves
- 3 Large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (340g) Dark corn syrup
- ½ cup (100g) Granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp (56g) Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Pure vanilla extract
- ½ tsp (3g) Salt
- ½ tsp (1g) Ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Place 200g pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes until they smell fragrant. Let them cool slightly.
- Roll out your chilled dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the pie plate, crimp the edges, and chill in the freezer for 15 minutes to prevent shrinking.
- In a large bowl, whisk the 3 large eggs until broken up. Add the dark corn syrup, granulated sugar, 56g melted butter, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon.
- Whisk the mixture vigorously until completely smooth and the sugar has mostly dissolved.
- Place the toasted pecans into the chilled pie shell. Pour the liquid mixture slowly over the pecans; the nuts will naturally float to the top creating a uniform layer.
- Bake on the lowest oven rack at 180°C for 55 minutes. The center should have a slight jiggle (internal temp 93°C). Use a pie shield if the edges brown too quickly.
