00:00This is the only pecan pie recipe
00:01you need this holiday season.
00:02I think what people don't realize
00:03is how easy it is to make a pecan pie,
00:05and it's made with mostly pantry staples.
00:07Start by beating a few eggs.
00:08Next, whisk in a cup of sugar
00:10and a cup of dark corn syrup.
00:12The corn syrup is what gives it its texture,
00:14the volume, and the deep flavor.
00:16A little butter for richness,
00:18and a little salt for balance,
00:19and vanilla, because we're baking.
00:20And finally, the star of the show, the pecans.
00:23I like to chop mine up.
00:24Some people leave them whole.
00:25I like little bites and not big old chunks in my pecan pie.
00:28And you better believe I'm using a store-bought pie crust,
00:31because it comes in the disposable pie plate,
00:33and when you're entertaining, nobody wants to do dishes.
00:35I like to bake it on a baking sheet,
00:37just in case you get any spillage.
00:39Then it goes into the oven, 400 degrees,
00:41for just about 15 minutes.
00:42Then you're gonna crank the temperature down to 350,
00:44and go another half hour or so.
00:46If it starts to get too dark,
00:48you can lightly place a piece of foil on top.
00:50You want it to be slightly jiggly, like this.
00:53You wanna let it set for at least a couple hours,
00:55so it's easy to slice.
00:56Better yet, make it the day before and keep it in the fridge.
00:58No soupy mess at the bottom of your pie plate.
01:00That's when you know it's a good recipe.
01:02No reason to buy it from a store.
01:04That's a 10 out of 10 perfect score pie.
01:06That buttery richness from the filling and those pecans
01:09are toasted so perfectly through the baking process.
01:12Perfectly baked, perfectly balanced.
01:14Perfect pecan pie.
