Description

Mae Wilton's version of pecan pie adds a touch of almond extract to the classic Karo syrup and butter filling — baked slowly at 325°F for a full hour in a crust pre-baked for 6 minutes for a firm, fully cooked base. The almond extract is a small detail that makes a noticeable difference.

Note

Pre-baking the crust for 6 minutes ensures the bottom crust cooks through under the dense filling. Do not skip this step.
