Makes 1 (9-inch) pie

"I received this recipe from my friend Joyce three years ago, she in turn got it from a elderly southern lady. It is a real classic Southern style pecan pie and is very pretty too!"

FOR THE CRUST:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
1 egg yolk
3 tablespoons ice water
FOR THE FILLIING:
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
3 eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

TO PREPARE THE PIE CRUST:
In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Mix yolk with 3 tablespoons ice water and stir in until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.

TO MAKE THE PIE:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C.)

Roll out the pie crust and place in a 9-inch pie plate. Place pecans in the bottom of pie crust.

In a large bowl, stir together 3/4 cup sugar and flour. Mix in the eggs, corn syrup, milk, melted butter and vanilla. Blend well and pour over pecans in crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and filling is set.
