Cozy Caramel Pecan Pie

 

 

 

 

Shopping List:

 

200 gr plain flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

110 gr cold butter diced

80 ml condensed milk ( I always use Friesche Vlag)

2 egg yolks

 

For the Filling:

 

300 gr caster sugar

250 gr butter

100 gr Maple Syrup

3 eggs

3 egg whites

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

200 gr ground pecans and maybe some for decoration

 

 

 

* Combine the flour and the salt in a large bowl. Dice in the butter until the mixture resembles course breadcrumbs. In another bowl combine the egg yolks with the condensed milk. Stir this into the the crumb mixture until the dough forms a ball. It is easiest to use your hands for this.

 

* Press the ball into the non-greased bottom of a 23 cm deep pie dish, or fluted one.

Cover this and refrigerate.

 

* Preheat your oven to 180C.

 

* Combine the sugar, the butter and the syrup in a large saucepan. Bring this to the boil over a medium heat. Keep stirring. Take it off the hob.

 

* Beat the eggs, egg whites and the vanilla in a large bowl. Slowly add the hot maple syrup mixture and stir in the ground pecans. Pour this mixture into your cold pastry shell.

 

* Cover the edges loosely with some aluminium foil and bake the pie in a 180C. preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or, until it has set. Cool it on your wire rack. Serve with any sort of cream, be it Ice or Devon.
