Grandmas Completely Different Pecan Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Beat egg whites until very fluffy.
• Add baking powder.
• Very slowly add sugar while mixer beats (will become thick and heavy).
• With rubber spatula, fold in cracker crumbs (you can roller crackers in a plastic bag to make fine crumbs).
• Fold in nuts and vanilla.
• Pour into greased 8" or 9" round pie pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Do not under-bake, will puff up and then settle and crack.
• Cool, then chill in refrigerator.
• Night before or early morning, seal to edge with whipped cream.
• Decorate with fine graham cracker crumbs. This is even better the longer it sits with the whipped cream on it to soften it all the way through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold overhang under and lightly press against rim of pie plate, then crimp decoratively. Lightly prick bottom all over with a fork. Chill until firm, at least 30 minutes (or freeze 10 minutes).
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in corn syrup, vanilla, zest, and salt. Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl, then whisk in corn syrup mixture.
• Put pecans in pie shell and pour corn syrup mixture evenly over them. Bake on hot baking sheet until filling is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300*. Mix all of the ingredients together, & pour filling into a 9" unbaked pie shell. Bake for 45 minutes or until set.
