Thank you for this recipe, Rosetalleo!  It looks do-able.  And thank you also

for the crust recipe.  I haven't made a piecrust in years, but I have known

there are good (non-lard) crust recipes out there that I've wanted to learn

about.

 

One more question: What is the difference between the cane sugar and the " sugar "

in your recipe?  I only ever have cane sugar at home; we don't have too many

options outside of a long trip to a health-food store that doesn't carry too

many different things either.  I use Stevia at home and we keep regular white

and brown sugar most of the time.  I don't usually have powdered sugar, either. 

Just wondering about the 2 kinds of " sugar " in the recipe--is one of them

actually supposed to be brown sugar?

 

Thank for all the info!

Peace and joy!

Southern pecan pie

 

crust

1 cup all purpose unbleached flour

1/2 tsp salt

7 tbsp butter, cold

1/8 cup chilled water

 

Make pie crust by rolling dough made with flour that has been mixed

with the butter and enough water added to make it into roll-able crust. Handle

as little as possible when mixing and rolling. Use pie pan (I used an unmolding

tart pan) and assemble your pie crust on your pie dish decorating and finishing

edges your favorite way.  Set aside.

 

Preheat oven to 350F

 

filling:

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 cup cane syrup

1 cup pulverized pecan chunks (use a grain mill or a coffee grinder)

1 1/2 cup pecan chunks

1 tbsp vanilla

1/8 tsp salt

2 tbsp melted unsalted butter

 

Mix eggs (I used a wire whisk) until frothy and add sugar, mix, add

cane syrup and mix (wooden spoon works well).  Add remaining

ingredients and mix.  Pour into uncooked  pie crust and bake at 350

for 40 minutes.  Reduce temperature to 325 F and bake for another 35

minutes (watch after 25).  The crust should be golden brown and the

top browned.

Hi Laura,

The cane syrup we get is in a yellow can, called 'steins' cane syrup. It is a

bit hard to find in Los Angeles, we get it at a latin supermarket that has

Caribbean food, or else we get it when we go to New Orleans. It is darker than

corn syrup, so the pie will be darker.

Cane sugar is just regular sugar, but refined from cane rather than beets.

Good luck with the pie making!
