The Roaring Late Twenties

Homemade Pecan Pie

In my granny’s kitchen there’s a little plaque on the wall that reads: Never trust a skinny cook. I finally understood that this week - I mean, REALLY understood it - after firing up the oven in an attempt to make homemade pecan pies. I had a hard time pouring that goopy cup of Karo syrup into the mix but it was well worth it in the end. 

Below is Mama’s recipe for Pecan Pie and a picture of how my version turned out. (OH YEAH! I finally bought a REAL camera!) 

 3 eggs - beat

1/2 cup sugar

1 cup Karo sugar

1 Teaspoon a.p. flour (mix in with sugar)

1 T melted butter

1 t vanilla

Pecans (about 2 cups)

350 until crust is brown
