Pecan Pie

I love to bake!  Baking is so fun for me, however, I'm used to baking cakes, cookies, brownies, and cupcakes with the occasional adventure outside that list like when I attempted to make a chocolate souffle (you won't find a post on that as it was a bit of a failure because it fell after taking it out of the oven).  This was, although, my first pie I've ever made from scratch.  And, thank heavens, it was not only edible, it was delicious!  Pretty quick and easy to make, it was definitely a great adventure outside the pastries I'm used to making.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup light brown sugar
• ¼ cup white sugar (if you prefer a slightly sweeter pecan pie, then add ½ instead)
• ½ cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy, and stir in melted butter.  Stir in the brown sugar, white sugar and the flour; mix well. Last add the milk, vanilla and nuts.
3. Pour into an unbaked 9-in pie shell. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done. 

As always, I try to let you know where I get my recipe from so if you want to see the original page, click here, although the recipe above is the same as at the link.  I can't wait to make this again!  But, I still have one slice left... I think I'll go finish that one off!  Til next time!
