- 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.
