Dough
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut up
1/4 cup ice water
Sift 1 cup of the flour and the salt into a large bowl. Add butter, and working quickly with a light touch, cut butter into the flour with a spoon and fingertips until mixture is the texture of coarse cornmeal. Add ice water and stir until well blended. Form the dough into a ball and place on a flat surface floured with the remaining 3 tablespoons flour. With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/8 inch. Place an ungreased 8 1/2-inch round pie pan face down on top of the dough and cut around the pan, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Lightly flour the top of the dough and fold it in quarters. Carefully place dough in the pie pan, with the points of the folded dough centered. Unfold dough and line the pan bottom and sides, gently pressing dough into place and draping a little over the rim. Flute the edges. Refrigerate prepared pie shell until ready to use.
Pecan Filling
1/2 cup pecan pieces or halves,
dry roasted until dark
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup pecan halves
Process roasted pecans in a food processor until they become a relatively smooth butter, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping sides down as needed with a rubber spatula.
Place eggs in a medium-size bowl of an electric mixer and beat on high speed a few seconds until frothy. Add sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, salt, and pecan butter. Beat on medium speed a few seconds until well mixed, pushing sides down as needed. Stir in the unroasted pecan halves. Pour mixture into prepared pie shell. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325 degrees F and bake until filling is browned on top and crust on edges is lightly browned, about 40 minutes more.
Remove from oven and let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup honey
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (9-inch) pie shell, unbaked
Real whipped cream
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Over low to medium heat, cook butter in a saucepan, watching closely but not stirring, until golden brown, abut 5 to 8 minutes. Do not burn. Pour browned butter into bowl and set aside.
In food processor, blend corn syrup, honey, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and salt until smooth. Add browned butter; blend again. Add pecans and process with just a few quick on-off-pulses.
Pour mixture into pie shell. Bake at 435 degrees F for 10 minutes; lower heat to 325 degrees F; bake another 40 minutes.
NOTE: center of pie will still seem a bit liquid when removed from oven; it sets up further as it cools. Let cool completely.
Serve with a generous topping of real whipped cream.
