OLD-FASHIONED PECAN PIE



Old-Fashioned Pecan Pie image

It's impossible to go wrong with pecan pie. Especially one that is really loaded with nuts, has a little verve from orange zest, and isn't overly sweet-exactly like the one here. Taking the time to track down new-crop pecans will push things right over the top.

ORANGE-PECAN PIE



Orange-Pecan Pie image

You get a triple dose of orange in this yummy fruit, nut and chocolate pie.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
Sugar
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup corn syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup pecan halves
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon shortening
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange peel

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix flour, 1 tablespoon orange peel and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/2 cup shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. With floured rolling pin, roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate. Cut scraps of rolled pastry with tiny star-shaped cookie cutter. Sprinkle cutouts with sugar; press on pastry edge.
  • In medium bowl, beat all filling ingredients except pecans with wire whisk or hand beater until smooth. Stir in pecans. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Cover edge of pastry with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and filling is set, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool 15 minutes. In small saucepan, melt chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly; drizzle over top of pie.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, mix 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch. Stir in orange juice and 2 tablespoons liqueur. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in orange peel. Serve sauce over pie.

CHOCOLATE PECAN PIE



Chocolate Pecan Pie image

Here is a pie that might make Thanksgiving purists shake their heads. Chocolate and pecan? But bear with us. The bittersweet chocolate adds depth to what is traditionally an achingly sweet pie, and the bourbon gives it a grownup finish. For detailed instructions on pie crust, check out our pie guide.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (150 grams), plus more for dusting
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, preferably high-fat, European style, chilled and cubed
2 to 4 tablespoons ice water, as needed
1 1/2 cups pecan halves (170 grams)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (56 grams)
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
4 large eggs
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100 grams)
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (5 grams)
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together the flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms chickpea-size pieces. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough just comes together. It should be moist but not wet. On a lightly floured surface, gather the dough into a ball. Flatten into a disk with the heel of your hand. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  • On a lightly floured surface, after removing plastic wrap, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer crust to a 9-inch pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, then crimp edges. Prick crust all over with a fork. Chill crust for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line chilled crust with aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake until very pale golden, 5 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast nuts, shaking pan occasionally, until fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool.
  • Make the filling: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth; cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cooled chocolate-butter mixture, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, bourbon and salt. Pour the mixture into the prepared crust. Arrange pecans over filling. Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the filling is just set when the pan is jiggled, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

  • Bake the pie until the center is set: The center of the pie should be set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Let the pie cool completely: Allow the pie to cool completely before serving, so that the filling has time to set.
  • Garnish the pie with whipped cream or ice cream: A dollop of whipped cream or ice cream is the perfect finishing touch for this pie.
