Pecan Pie
Description
A classic Southern pecan pie — toasted chopped pecans stirred into a warm filling of eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and salt, poured into a warm pie crust and baked until set. Let stand at least 1.5 hours before slicing so the filling firms up completely.

Note
Let the pie stand for at least 1.5 hours after baking before slicing — the filling is too loose to cut cleanly until it has fully set.
Light corn syrup produces a milder, more delicate flavor; dark corn syrup gives a richer, more molasses-like result.
