This article will provide you with an easy-to-follow recipe for making a delicious Karo Light Corn Syrup Pecan Pie at home.
Ingredients:
For the pie crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
- 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
- 1 cup Karo Light Corn Syrup
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
Directions:
Step 1: Make the pie crust
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Roll the dough out on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges and crimp them as desired.
Step 2: Preheat the oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Step 3: Make the filling
In a large bowl, whisk together the Karo Light Corn Syrup, eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Step 4: Assemble the pie
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Step 5: Cool and serve
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Serve the pie at room temperature, or refrigerate it for a chilled treat. You can also decorate the pie with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added sweetness.
