Ingredients

• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
• 1 tablespoon quick-mixing flour (such as Wondra®)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons half-and-half
• 1.5 cups pecan halves or pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Mix in brown sugar. Add corn syrup and mix. Add butter, bourbon, half-and-half, vinegar, flour, and salt and beat until well mixed, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Toast pecans in a dry skillet over low heat until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Place evenly in the pie crust. Pour filling mixture over. Do not overfill; you may have a little left over. Place pie on a baking sheet.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue to bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, about 25 minutes more. Cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent overbrowning if desired. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.
