Instructions:
-
Prepare the Brandied Pecans: In a small bowl, place whole pecans and pour in brandy. Allow the pecans to soak in the brandy for 30 minutes, infusing them with rich flavor.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your pie to golden perfection.
-
Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine sugar, eggs, vanilla, dark corn syrup, salt, and flour, mixing until well incorporated. This creates a smooth and luscious filling that will envelop the pecans in sweetness.
-
Incorporate the Brandied Pecans: Stir in the melted butter and the brandied pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling, infusing every bite with the delightful essence of brandy.
-
Prepare the Pie Shell: Pour the prepared filling into a pie shell, spreading it evenly to ensure a uniform distribution of flavors in every slice.
-
Protect the Crust: Cover the edges of the pie crust with narrow strips of foil to prevent over-browning, allowing the filling to bake to perfection without sacrificing the integrity of the crust.
-
Bake the Pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. After this initial baking time, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for another 15 minutes. Remove the foil from the edges and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the pie is puffed and golden.
-
Check for Doneness: To ensure the pie is fully baked, insert a knife halfway between the edge and the center; it should come out clean, indicating that the filling is set and the pie is ready to be enjoyed.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Whether you prefer it warm or cold, serve the Brandy Pecan Pie topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, making this pie a true delight for the senses.
