Pecan Pie Everyone's favorite

400 degrees for 8 minutes
340 degrees for 40 minutes

Use my pastry recipe listed in my blog

2 tbsp butter
2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp spiced rum
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 corn syrup
2 cups pecans divide into 1 1/2 cup and 1/2 cup(for decorating the top)

In a bowl whisk soft butter, eggs together
add in brown sugar,vanilla,spiced rum
whisk together well
add in corn syrup
mix well

Bake pie shell for 5 mins at 350 degrees
add 1 handful of pecans to the bottom of the crust  from 1/12 cup
add the remaining of the 1/12 cup pecans to the sugar mixture
stir well
Add to the pie shell
now take the 1/2 and lay them around the top of the pie.
place on a cookie sheet in case it spills over.

I put a tent of foil over my pie for the 8 minutes at 400 degrees
turn oven down to 340 degrees for 40 minutes
I leave the tent on for the first 20 minutes of the cooking time.

The pie should have a firm giggle when it is done.
Let sit for 30 - 45 minutes to set before cutting
