INGREDIENTS:
1 cup sugar
2 or 3 eggs (slightly beaten
)
1 cup Karo
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 1 cup pecan meats (coarsely chopped)
1 teaspoon vanilla
TO PREPARE:
Mix above ingredients – add nut meats last. Pour into standard size pie pan or 8-inch square hollow pan lined with pie pastry.
Place in hot oven (400 degrees) and bake until filling is firm – about 50 minutes.
Watch – sometimes cooks over! It is done when a silver knife blade inserted comes out clean.
This is a very thin batter but puffs up a bit during the baking. The finished filling is firm and crusty. Cool slowly. A very rich pie – serve in smaller portions than ordinary pies. May top with whipped cream. Serve hot or warm.
