Southern Pecan Pie

http://teriskitchen.com/pies-recipes/southern-pecan-pie.html

Makes one 9-inch pie

This is the best pecan pie I have ever tasted. It is not as sweet and has more pecans than most. The recipe was passed to my mother many years ago from a southern friend. The filling is very quick, easy and delicious. Make your favorite pie crust or, if time is an issue, use a good store-bought crust.

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 375° F. Beat eggs lightly. Add sugar, syrup, butter and vanilla; beat until well blended. Add pecans; stir. Pour into chilled, unbaked pie shell. Distribute pecans evenly. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. (If pecans become too brown on top, cover loosely with foil.) Cool on rack. Serve warm or room temperature, topped with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
