Steps:
- Dough: Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter, tossing to evenly coat. Rub butter between fingers and thumbs, continuing to toss with flour until mixture has texture of coarse sand. Sprinkle evenly with ice water and stir with hands, gently kneading a few times, just until a dough forms. Flatten into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim excess, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then fold edges under. Crimp edges as desired. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Filling: Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, syrup, and flour and cook, stirring constantly, just until mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Whisk together milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Slowly add warm butter mixture, whisking constantly, until smooth. Pour filling into pie shell, then arrange pecans evenly on top.
- Bake until pie is puffed and set along edges but still wobbly in center when gently shaken, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. (Loosely tent pie with foil if top darkens too quickly.) Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

EASY MAPLE PECAN PIE
I have had success with this pie many times, and takes a matter of minutes to prepare with a frozen pie crust. Of coarse you can use your own pastry recipe ...just mix all ingredients together, pour into prepared crust and bake. This pie is sweet, and should be served with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Maple syrup: Preferred grades are C, B, and A, in that order.
- Lightly grease a ten-inch pie pan and put the pie crust in it.
- Set the oven at 400°F to preheat.
- Position a rack to the middle.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs until they are combined.
- Add the sugar and mix well.
- Stir in the maple syrup, butter, salt, vanilla, and pecans.
- I'll frequently microwave the filling at this point just until it's warm, especially because my maple syrup and eggs are almost always refrigerator-cold. Stir frequently and don't overheat or the filling will start to set. Warming will allow the filling to set in the oven before the crust gets overcooked.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust and transfer to the oven.
- Bake the pie for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes or until the filling is set.
- Give the pie a gentle shake; the center should remain firm (note that another 'zaar member had a problem with the pie being runny - you must bake until the center remains firm when the pie is shaken even if it takes more than 35 minutes).
- Let the pie sit at room temperature to cool completely.
- To make in advance, wrap the cooled pie in plastic wrap, then in heavy-duty aluminum foil (I've never actually done this).
- Gently press the foil against the pie.
- Freeze for up to two months.
- Defrost the wrapped pie at room temperature.
- Uncover the pie and warm in a 300°F oven for ten minutes before serving.

MAPLE-HONEY PECAN PIE
Substituting a combination of maple syrup and honey for the usual corn syrup in pecan pie makes for a complex and richly flavored confection that's still wonderfully gooey in the center. This recipe also has double the amount of pecans compared with most recipes, giving it plenty of crunch. You can bake it the day before serving; it keeps very well at room temperature for at least 24 hours. It also freezes reasonably well for up to 3 months, though the crust won't be quite as flaky.

Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle, and transfer to a 9-inch metal pie plate. Fold over any excess dough, crimping the edges. Transfer crust to the freezer for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- When ready to bake, place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack and heat oven to 425 degrees.
- Heat a small saucepan and melt the butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden brown and the butter smells nutty and toasty, about 5 minutes. Add maple syrup to the pan and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and reduces slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk honey into the warm syrup mixture. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
- While the syrup mixture cools, combine sugars, eggs, bourbon (if using), vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually pour syrup mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly, then use a rubber spatula to scrape in all the brown bits at the bottom of the pot.
- Remove pie crust from freezer and place pecans along the bottom of the crust. Carefully pour the filling over the pecans. Place pie plate on the hot sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to bake for another 35 to 45 minutes, until the center of the pie has puffed up and turned golden brown.
- Transfer pie to a wire cooling rack, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if you like, and allow to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pie.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
- Don't over-bake the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set properly.
