This is the recipe I teach in my Cajun and Creole Cooking course.
It is derived from a very old Cajun cookbook entitled "Des Bonnes
Choses a Manger".
Pecan Pie
---------
1/4 cup margarine or butter (1/2 stick)
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup unroasted pecan pieces
1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Prick all over the bottom and sides of the inside of the pie crust
with a fork.
In electric mixer, cream margarine with syrup. Add sugar and eggs
and mix well. Stop the mixer.
Add vanilla and pecans and stir -by hand-, not in the mixer.
Pour into pie crust. Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for
45 minutes, or until center doesn't "jiggle" when you move the pie.
If the crust begins to burn (after about 30 minutes), cover it
with aluminum foil with a hole cut in the center of the foil.
Optional chocolate lining:
1/4 c. chocolate chips
Melt chips in microwave. After you prick the pie crust,
and before you pour in the filling, pour the melted chips
into the bottom of the pie crust. Spread around the bottom
and up the sides with the back of a spoon. Pour in the
filling as described above.
