Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

Susan is back to share her Southern Pecan Pie! In my house we bake pies pretty much only during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Everyone likes something different. The boys like my Mom’s Chocolate Pie, Hubby likes his Mom’s Lemon Pie, and our daughter and my Father in law love their pecan pie!

So, check out Susan’s Southern Pecan Pie recipe! You won’t be disappointed!

SOUTHERN PECAN PIE ( N.E. TEXAS STYLE)

3 Egg
2/3 cup Sugar
1 cup White Karo Syrup (I use Blackburn’s from Jefferson Texas)
1/3 cup Melted Butter (not margarine)
2 cups Pecan Halves
Dash of Salt
1 tsp Grandma’s Molasses (optional)

Beat eggs and sugar. Add other ingredients and mix well (except pecans).

Place the pecans in unbaked pie shell and pour the rest on top.

Place the pecans in unbaked pie shell and pour the rest on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until done.

My oven took 50 minutes but I had to cover it for the last 10 minutes to keep it from getting too brown. I leave my pecans in halves because my husband prefers it that way. It sort of makes it taste like it is covered in sugared pecans.

Hi, my name is Susan and I am a mother of four and a grandmother to 5 and that, along with my husband and 2 dogs, take up my most of my time. I am a side-tracked Home Executive and I had the privilege of being a stay –at-home mom so, you might say that my passion is the home and making a haven for those I love. I am quite skilled at shopping 🙂 and finding a bargain just makes my day.
