I first had this pie several years ago at a restaurant in Winnie, Texas. It was so good that I asked the woman who bakes the pies for her recipe, and it's all I've used ever since:

Mrs. Allen's Pecan Pie

1 Cup sugar
3/4 C. light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
4 Tbsp. melted butter
1 Cup chopped pecans
1 9" prepared pie crust (unbaked)

Mix first four ingredients, add butter and pecans. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350 degress F for about 45 minutes, or until done (the center doesn't jiggle).

Enjoy!

Thank you all so much for your help. Who knew, I always thought it had bourban in it.

My hubby likes this one better than the traditional, as it's not quite as sweet.

Spread the nuts evenly over pie shell.
Mix together butter or margarine, vanilla, and flour. Beat the eggs well, and blend into the flour mixture. Add salt, maple syrup, and cream. Pour filling over the nuts in the pie shell. Make sure the nuts are covered, so they will not burn.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center come out clean. Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

The one difference I have found to kick Pecan Pie up a notch is to brown the butter. Careful not to burn. Mix the sugar into this, then other ingredients. The browning caramelizes the sugars in the milk.

To answer the question that is sure to arise, no, one cannot brown margarine. No sugars in it.

Saffires - - I adore pecan pie. Did you make one of these? Was it a success?

I'm really late for this one or on the other hand, very early for this year's Thanksgiving. But why wait?

Like the above recipes, this is a sure-fire winner
