    • Reviews

  • “This is what we call a basic pecan pie in KY. To really spiffy it up add a little bourbon and some chocolate chips.yummy”

  • “The pecans tasted noticeably buttery (I made sure they were well-coated with butter before adding to the syrup mixture) and the pie as a whole is a bit less sweet than most. In other words…PERFECTION!”

  • “I just made this recipe for Thanksgiving and found it very easy to follow and make.It got rave reviews at the table and had everyone fighting over who got the leftovers.”

  • “Ok so this tasted great! My only recommendation would be to bake the crust only for 3 min, take it out and then pour the batter in. Otherwise, it will seep through the crust and well there won’t be much of a crust. Also, do not forget to put a cookie sheet on the bottom because it oozes out. Don’t fret if it’s done and the center is still a tad liquidy as it cools it hardens. It’s best to cook it the night before you eat it. Do not be in a rush to eat this, it needs to set for several hours, until completely cooled.”

  • “Great recipe!One of the prettiest pies I have ever baked.Not too sweet and a good consistency.It took the 50 minutes in my oven.I covered the crust with foil until the last 20 minutes. It then had a nice browned crust, not burnt.”
