Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup dark Karo syrup
1 stick of butter or margarine (softened)
1 cup pecan halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat eggs until light and fluffy.
Add sugar and beat again.
Add syrup, butter, pecans, salt and vanilla.
Mix ingredients together and pour into pie crust.
Cook on 350 F for 10 minutes; then reduce temperature to 325 F for 30 minutes.
Temperature reduction is to keep crust from burning.
Ovens vary in performance and cook times should be adjusted accordingly (I had to cook mine an additional 10 minutes).
edited to add: (The pie can look a little buttery until it is cooked completely. Some people have reported having to cook it an additional 20 minutes)
Pie is done when center jiggles like jello when you shake the pie.
Make sure the pie cools completely before you cut it.
Pie crust:
1 1/2 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter or margarine, and cinnamon until well blended.
Press mixture into an 8 or 9 inch pie plate.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7 minutes. Cool. If recipe calls for unbaked pie shell, just chill for about 1 hour.
