Southern Pecan Pie: An Old Southern Tradition

Ingredients in a Truly Southern Pecan Pie: When it comes to pies, it's the simplest ingredients that usually make the best southern pecan pie. All you need are the following: 3 Eggs, 2/3 cup of sugar (brown or maple sugar it you have it), 1 cup of corn syrup, ½ cup of melted butter, 1 tsp. of vanilla extract, 1 ½ cup of broken pecans (fresh is always better), and a 9 inch unbaked pie crust.

Making a Southern Pecan Pie from Scratch

SDon't feel obligated to make a pecan pie from scratch, you can buy one of ours from our online store here, shipped to you in a refrigerated box!

Making a great crust is an art form. Some of the best chefs in the world "cheat" by using store bought crusts. However, most local restaurants and bakeries are usually more than willing to offer fresh-made crust as a courtesy to their more loyal customers. Just make sure that your crust is room temperature and pliable before filling.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. For the filling, beat your eggs before adding the other ingredients in a large bowl, whisk thoroughly so a light foam forms, dump your pecans in the pie crust, and pour the mixture on top. Bake for 40 minutes or until the filling has set.
