Ingredients:

  • 1 ¼ cups (150g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 4-5 tablespoons ice water
  • 1 cup (200g) pecan halves
  • 1 cup (240ml) light corn syrup
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough forms.
  2. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. On a floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish, trimming excess crust.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Fold in pecan halves.
  6. Pour filling into the prepared crust, spreading pecans evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing.
