Pecan pie

A pecan pie is a classic and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe is easy to follow and produces a rich, creamy cake with a strong pecan flavor.

Ingredients:

• For the crust:
  • 200 g of flour
  • 100 g of cold butter
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 50 ml of ice water
• For the stuffing:
  • 200 g of cane sugar
  • 100 g of melted butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 250 g of pecans

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Prepare the crust. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, butter, sugar and salt until sandy. Add ice water a tablespoon at a time until dough comes together. Wrap the dough in a sheet of cling film and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the pecans and mix until incorporated.
4. Roll out the dough into a 23cm tart pan. Pour the filling into the crust and smooth the surface.
5. Bake the pie in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden. Let the cake cool completely before cutting and serving.

Suggestions:

• For a crispier crust, bake it in the oven for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
• You can add other ingredients to the filling, such as chocolate, candied fruit or cinnamon.
• For a richer cake, you can replace the butter with nut butter.

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of icing sugar for the perfect dessert.
