DIXIE PECAN PIE
pastry for a single-crust 9-inch pie
3 large eggs
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 cups dark corn syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
1 cup pecan halves
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Line a pie plate with pastry. Refrigerate.
Beat the eggs until light. Blend together the flour and sugar and add this to the eggs. Beat well. Add the remaining ingredients, blending well. Pour the mixture into the pie shell.
Bake 10 minutes at 425 degrees F. Reduce the oven heat to 325 degrees F and continue baking about 45 minutes.
NOTES:
"Pecans are, to my mind, the most Southern of nuts. One authority I know states that they were grown in Virginia long before George Washington was born and that the name derives from the American Indian word 'pakan'. The earliest colonists in Virginia and North Carolina transliterated the word as 'pagan' and as a result, the Pagan River, which flows through Smithfield, Virginia, was named for the abundance of pecan trees that grew along its shores and not for any pagans who lived nearby." - Craig Claiborne
