Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup butter flavored pancake syrup
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup pecan halves
9″ pastry pie crust
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, pancake syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and chopped pecans. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour into unbaked 9″ pastry pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated 350*F oven for 45-55 minutes or until the center is just set.
- Watch the last 10 minutes of cooking to make sure pecans and pie don’t brown too much and burn. If it’s getting dark, tent the pie with a piece of aluminum foil and continue baking until the center is just set.
- When done, remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes to an hour. Slice and enjoy it!
