DECADENT PECAN PIE



Decadent Pecan Pie image

When it comes to creating decadent desserts for fall, this pecan pie recipe takes the cake! It's the perfect partner for the season and an all-time favorite that always brings delicious to the table.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup pecan halves or broken pecans

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in 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; press with times of fork or flute if desired.
  • In another medium bowl, beat all filling ingredients except pecans with wire whisk or hand beater until well blended. Stir in pecans. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate.
  • Cover edge of pastry with 2- to 3-inch-wide strip of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until center is set, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled before serving. Store in refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality pecans. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly gooey in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to firm up and the crust to become flaky.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious touch of sweetness and creaminess.

Conclusion:

This devilish pecan pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
