I love Fall... the leaves are changing colors, the air gets a little nippy, and of course.... HOLIDAYS!!! I know that it isn't Thanksgiving yet, but I had a hankerin' for some pie... pecan pie that is.
So I found a recipe by none other than Pioneer Woman... and I think I gained a pound just by
looking at the recipe :) I assembled all the necessary evils... I mean ingredients and went to work!!!
First, I mixed the three eggs together and set them aside.
Next, I mixed the white and brown sugar and the salt....
... then I added the deliciously thick corn syrup :)
Now, for the best part of any recipe.... butter.
You can never have too much butter I always say. This recipe only calls for only one stick... ONLY one stick you say??? Well as an old Dutch proverb says...""Eat butter first, and eat it last, and live till a hundred years be past."
So here I am pouring the sinfully irresistible butter into the bowl with the other sinfully delicious ingredients :)
Now give them a little stir and try not to lick the spoon...
Just looking at it seems sinful.
Lord have mercy... on my thighs.
Go ahead an pour your eggs,
and your vanilla.
Finally we get to the pecans... spread the nuts in the bottom of the pie crust....
and dump your sweet concoction over the pecans.
Wait! Where did the pecans go???? The just disappeared!!!
BIBBITY....
BOBBITY...
BOO!!!!
You didn't know that I could perform magic, now did you??? Actually, the pecans rose to the top themselves.
Now you can slide that baby into the oven!!!
Now, remember that this was my first attempt, so don't laugh....
here it is!
Now if you would like to have some of this ooey gooey sweetness, here is the link to the recipe...
