Pecan Pie Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375º F. Then, pre-bake crust 7-9 minutes. While crust is baking, make filling.
Filling: in a medium bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and salt. Add butter and vanilla and stir until combined well.
Remove pre-baked crust from oven, pour pecans into crust and immediately pour egg mixture over pecans.
Place pie pan on a baking sheet and cover edges with tinfoil to prevent over-browning. Place in middle of oven and bake 35-45 minutes or until slightly set.
Remove from oven and cool on rack a minimum of 1 hour before cutting. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
