| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Allow to cool. |
| 2 | In a separate bowl, combine the light corn syrup, honey, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth. |
| 3 | Add the cooled browned butter to the mixture and stir until well combined. |
| 4 | Gently fold in the walnuts, making sure they are drained of any excess brandy. |
| 5 | Place the pie shell onto a foil-lined drip pan to catch any potential spills. Pour the walnut mixture into the pie shell, being careful not to overfill as the pie will rise during baking. |
| 6 | Bake the pie in the preheated oven at 425Β°F (220Β°C) for 8 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 325Β°F (160Β°C) and bake for an additional 30 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and mostly set. |
| 7 | The middle of the pie will continue to set while it cools. Allow the pie to cool completely or until just warm before serving. |
| 8 | Serve slices of the walnut pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla caramel ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. |
| 9 | For an added touch, drizzle any leftover brandy used to soak the walnuts over the pie slices before serving. |
Enjoy your delicious Walnut Pie with Browned Butter, and savor the rich flavors of this indulgent dessert! π₯§β¨
