How to Make Your Favorite Pecan Pie Baked Goods
Pecans are a popular ingredient in many baked goods, especially pies. Here's how you can make your favorite pecan pie baked good:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
Step 2: In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled and cut cubes of butter and pulse several times until you have coarse crumbs.
Step 3: Slowly add the ice water while pulsing until the dough comes together in a ball. Divide the dough into two pieces, wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4: In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the milk, eggs, melted and cooled butter, and vanilla extract and stir until well combined.
Step 5: Roll out one of the dough halves on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it up against the sides and trimming off any excess. Prick the bottom with a fork.
Step 6: In a small mixing bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and cornstarch.
Step 7: Pour the pecan mixture evenly onto the pie crust, spreading it out to the edges of the crust.
Step 8: Roll out the second half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Cut the dough into thin strips and weave them over the top of the pecan mixture, creating a lattice pattern.
Step 9: Bake for 45-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling has set. Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
