While working on the pie section of our recipe book featuring nuts, several
of us made a number of different pecan pies, then invited a group of men to
test them all. They, of course, were in 7th Heaven! They all agreed that
every recipe was good, but voted Zee Pape's recipe as the best. And no
wonder, as Zee and her husband own Pape's Pecan House in Seguin, Texas and
deal with pecans every day!! This recipe is one of many pecan recipes she
gives to customers.
3 eggs
1/2 c. whipping cream
1/2 c. corn light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
2 c. chopped pecans or pecan halves
2 Tbsp. melted butter
1 9" unbaked pie crust
Beat eggs well and stir in rest of ingredients. Pour into 9 inch unbaked
pastry shell. Bake in 350 degree oven 45-50 minutes, until crust is browned
and filling is slightly puffy. Cool on rack to room temperature before
serving. The filling will flatten and become firm on cooling.
