Gma T's: Egg Nog

My grandmother about 2 years ago, gave me her box of recipes. It is a small 2-drawer filing box and one side is completely full of recipes. Some of these recipes she has hand written and some are cut out of boxes, people have given to her, etc. My goal this year is to get as many of her favorites onto my Cooking Blog so that I can share them with our entire family and my Friend Camille.

Pioneer Woman’s Pecan Pie

                                           Prep: 15 mins Level: Easy   Cook: 50 mins Serves: 12
Ingredients

1 whole Unbaked Pie Crust (I Use "sylvia's Perfect Pie Crust" Recipe
1 cup White Sugar
3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
½ teaspoons Salt
1 cup Corn Syrup
¾ teaspoons Vanilla
⅓ cups Melted Butter (salted)
3 whole Eggs, Beaten
1 cup (heaping) Chopped Pecans

Preparation

First, whip up your pie crust using “Sylvia’s Perfect Pie Crust” found on Tasty Kitchen.
Next, mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs, and vanilla together in a
bowl.
Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
Pour syrup mixture over the top. Cover top and crust lightly/gently with foil. Bake pie
at 350º for 30 minutes. Remove foil, then continue baking for 20 minutes, being careful
not to burn the crust or pecans.

NOTE: PIE SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY JIGGLY WHEN YOU REMOVE IT
FROM THE OVEN. If it shakes a lot, cover with foil and bake for an additional 20
minute or until set. Required baking time seems to vary widely with this recipe.
Sometimes it takes 50 minutes; sometimes it takes 75!

Allow to cool for several hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers.

Enjoy!
