BUTTERMILK PECAN PIE

Buttermilk Pecan Pie image

This is the treasured "golden oldie" that my grandmother made so often whenever we'd come to visit. Grandma grew her own pecans, and we never tired of cracking them and picking out the meat when we knew we'd be treated to her special pie! -Mildred Sherrer, Fort Worth, Texas

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 recipe Basic Pie Crust, rolled and fit into a 9-inch pie plate

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes (or melt chocolate in microwave). Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together (do not whisk) eggs, corn syrup, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Stirring constantly, gradually add melted chocolate. Pour filling into prepared crust; place pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Arrange pecans in one even layer over filling.
Bake just until set (filling should jiggle slightly when pie plate is tapped), 50 to 60 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool completely on a wire rack, at least 4 hours (or up to overnight) before serving.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pie will be. Look for a dark chocolate with a cacao content of at least 70%.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the pie until the center is set. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the pie to set properly.
Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch to the pie.

Conclusion:

This dark chocolate buttermilk pecan pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich chocolate flavor is perfectly complemented by the tangy buttermilk and the crunchy pecans. This pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
