Pecan Pie

Directions

1. 1
   Beat eggs and mix well with sugar, syrup, vanilla, salt and butter/margarine.
2. 2
   Pour over 1 cup pecans in pie shell.
3. 3
   (Pecan halves are difficult to cut, though they look good.
4. 4
   I suggest slightly chopped.)
5. 5
   This recipe is generous for pie or 12 tarts. Usually, I use light brown sugar and white syrup or vice versa; all dark makes it too strong.
6. 6
   Baking time is not exact.
7. 7
   Watch it carefully.
8. 8
   Bake at 400° to 375° for no more than 10 minutes to brown the crust.
9. 9
   Then lower to 350° to 325° until done; firm, but not overdone or hard on top.
