Ingredients

• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 60 milliliters ice cold water
• 200 grams shelled pecans
• 3 units large eggs
• 200 milliliters light corn syrup
• 150 grams brown sugar
• 50 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

To make the crust, combine the 100 grams of unsalted butter and 250 grams of all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add 60 milliliters of ice cold water into the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Fit the rolled dough into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming the edges as needed.

Step 6

For the filling, coarsely chop 200 grams of shelled pecans. Set aside.

Step 7

In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, 200 milliliters of light corn syrup, and 150 grams of brown sugar until smooth.

Step 8

Stir in 50 grams of melted unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 9

Mix in the chopped pecans, then pour the filling into the prepared pastry shell.

Step 10

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. You can check the filling by inserting a knife; it should come out clean when done.

Step 11

Allow the pie to cool completely, approximately 2 hours, before serving to set the filling completely.
