Pecan pie is my husband’s absolute favorite pie. So much so that I usually have to bake two for Thanksgiving and Christmas. One for him and one for everyone else. He’s very particular about how he likes it though. No chocolate, no bourbon, no frills. Just good old-fashioned pecan pie. My grandma’s recipe for pecan pie is holding it’s rank as his favorite recipe. After trying many different types, I would have to agree with him. We love pecans, so I make the recipe a little heavy on the pecans. If you are on pie assignment for Thanksgiving this year, give this recipe a try! For the pie crust, I use the Perfect Pie Crust recipe from Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman. It’s so buttery and delicious. I could just sit and eat the crust!
UPDATE! I accidentally attached the wrong link for the pie crust. Oops! I actually used the pie crust recipe in her second cookbook which is HERE. This is the same recipe I used, minus the lard. In her cookbook, it calls for 1 cup of butter instead of 3/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup lard. Or you can use your own pie crust recipe:)
You can find me over at these great link parties:
I am going to try it
