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
