Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ⅓-½ cup water
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • dash salt
  • 1 ½ cups pecan halves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Make the pie crust: Combine flour, butter, salt, and sugar in a stand mixer. Add water until the dough comes together. Press into a 9.5-inch pie dish and freeze.
  • Prepare the filling: Boil butter, sugar, and corn syrup for 3-5 minutes. Cool slightly.
  • Whisk eggs, bourbon, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Slowly mix in the corn syrup mixture.
  • Stir in pecans, pour filling into pie crust, and bake for 55-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
  • Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute the bourbon with dark rum or a splash of vanilla extract for a non-alcoholic version.
  • For a deeper flavor, toast the pecans before adding them to the filling.
