Pecan Pie

In the Deep South, pecans are part of everything. Okay. I exaggerated. We do cook some things without nuts. It's just that pecans and peanuts are everywhere. They're both big crops in this part of the world. Most of us have pecan trees and some folks -- not us anymore -- grow peanuts. It's that old adage of using what you have.


This recipe came from my Mother's Mother. Gran was a wonderful cook. Pecan Pie is a staple but not everyone can make a pie you want to eat. I know. It's shocking. This recipe is wonderful.


Pecan Pie


1 cup corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
3 eggs
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
4 tablespoons milk
one unbaked pie crust


Beat the eggs until they are well blended. Gradually add all the other ingredients. Pour into an unbaked pie crust.


Bake 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven.


Enjoy!
