PECAN PIE

Baked pie shell

Cream together 1/3 cup butter and 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar.

To this, beat in 3 eggs, one at a time.
Stir in:
1 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup broken pecans
1/4 teaspoon salt
(optional, 1 tablespoon molasses)

Fill the pie shell and bake in a moderate oven, 375F for 1/2 hour.
(Optional) In the last stages, partially cover with roasted pecan halves.

375F = 191C
1 cup = 8 oz. = 237 mm.
1 tablespoon = 15 ml

In Canada, pecan halves are available in a 1kg bag at Costco Wholesale. In the usual store, pecans are expensive. Costco also has almonds in the large bags.
