I’m on a diet right now, thanks a lot, Eric!
Maybe by Thanksgiving I will have reached my weight goal and reward myself with a slice of this gourmet version of a classic.
I grew up with the Karo recipe and Crisco in the crust. Mmmm. My tastebuds not being as highly refined as some, I could really go for a piece of Grandma Nonee’s corn syrup & axle grease pecan pie right now! Fortunately, it’s not the right season.
Hope to see you at Renee’s at Thanksgiving, and I hope you bring pie!!
P.S. I thought your hat tip to April on the crust-making was sweet.

Eric, what kind of “flower” do you use in this recipie for the pie filling?

James—Yes: “T” is “tablespoon” and “t” is “teaspoon”. I have no idea what these would be in the godless metric system. Once when I lived in the UK (Nottingham, 1986-7), an American friend and I were seized with the desire to make chocolate chip cookies. Somehow it worked out, though we had to guestimate everything.

Joy—I can suggest a couple of things. Number one is a good pie pan, preferably glass. The pie still might stick a bit, but glass helps a lot. Next, a good pie spatula that can “bite” under the pie (versus a plastic one). Often the first piece is going to be a bit ragged all the same.

HOW DO I KEEP MY PECAN PIE (AND CRUST) FROM STICKING TO PIE PLATE WHEN SERVING???? THOUGHT I WAS A DECENT BAKER, BUT CAN’T ACCOMPLISH THIS.

Good to have you back blogging, Eric.
Pecan pie sounds delicious. will try that.
but what’s the ‘T’ and ‘t’ - is that tablespoon and teaspoon, or some other weird american measurement system?
