Elevate your classic pecan pie with the rich, nutty flavor of brown butter and a hint of bourbon. This recipe from Savor And Pin guarantees a delicious, foolproof dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups pecan halves

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns a rich amber color and smells nutty. This is brown butter. Remove from heat immediately and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, granulated sugar, and salt.
  4. Stir in the cooled brown butter and bourbon.
  5. Whisk in the eggs one at a time until fully combined.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Arrange the pecan halves evenly in the unbaked pie crust.
  8. Pour the brown butter bourbon filling over the pecans.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. The crust should be golden brown.
  10. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure your brown butter is not burnt, as this will affect the flavor.
  • Bourbon can be substituted with rum or omitted if preferred.
  • For a deeper bourbon flavor, you can let the bourbon sit at room temperature for a few hours before adding it to the filling.
