Elizabeth Karmel's Double-Nut Pecan Pie
From Hill Country's Executive Chef
The classic pecan pie made better with the addition of both chopped and whole pecans and a splash of both vanilla and Bourbon.
Ingredients
Cooking Directions
Preheat Oven to 350°F.
Put chopped nuts into the bottom of the each prebaked pie shell and set aside.
Combine melted butter, granulated sugar, both light & dark corn syrups, eggs, vanilla and Bourbon.
Pour this mixture on top of chopped nuts. Place a decorative row of whole pecans on the top. Bake about 50-60 minutes on the center rack of the oven or until cooked through. The pie will spring back on top but still giggle a little until it cools. If the top is getting too dark before the center is done, tent with aluminum foil.
Cool for a minimum of three hours. The pie is best made the day before.
