Texas State Fair Pecan Pie
Note that this is enough filling for a deep 10 inch pie crust - you may have too much in a smaller/normal pie pan!
1/2 recipe vodka pie crust -or- one 9-inch pie crust in pan (frozen is just fine - defrost for 10 mins before using, or use a fresh crust that has been chilled 1 hour in the fridge. Do NOT try to use a cookie or cracker crumb crust - it will just dissolve and mix with the filling.)
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz) pecan halves, toasted for 8 minutes
1 1/2 sticks (170.5g) butter
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup - NOTE: Lyle's Golden Syrup is a vastly superior improvement to light corn syrup
1 Tablespoon molasses (optional - not yet tested)
3 Tablespoons whole milk
2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 tsp salt, depending on your butter saltification
4 eggs
1 teaspoon liquid flavoring, Your choice of:
