Pecan pie

Makes about 8 servings

Time: 40min (excluding pastry making and cooling pie)

Ingredients:

Pastry dough (do it yourself or buy a ready one)

3/4 stick butter (I use my slightly salted one I know it’s not health don’t care)

1 1/4 cups of light brown sugar

3/4 cup light corn syrup

2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

1/ 2 teaspoon of grated orange zest

1/4 teaspoon of salt

3 large eggs

2 cups pecan halves or half a pound

I often add some banana ice cream as a side (extra delicious)

Roll out your dough into the tart tray with a baking sheet underneath if necessary (in the meantime pre-heat your oven (180 degrees)

Melt the butter in the microwave (super quick and smells like heaven right?!) Put it in a saucepan and add the brown sugar, whisk until the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and whisk in corn syrup, vanilla, zest and salt.

Beat your eggs quite gently and then add and whisk the corn syrup to the mixture.

Here you have it your pecan pie mixture, pour it into the cake tray and add a few pecan on the top and grate some to make it look fun and bake for 30 min.
