Missionary Pecan Pie

I found this wonderful pecan pie recipe that takes no corn syrup. I called it "Missionary Pecan Pie" because it doesn't take corn syrup and corn syrup is most times almost impossible to find. Anyhow it had rave reviews and they said it was even better than pecan pie with corn syrup. Oh yea and if you don't like pecan pie...Bless your heart, I'll pray for you to get it right!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy, and stir in melted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, white sugar and the flour; mix well. Last add the milk, vanilla and nuts.
  3. Pour into an unbaked 9-in pie shell. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until done.

  1. LOL, love the name for this pie; it's very fitting! :o) I have to say, I love everything about pecan pie... I just don't like the pecans. I guess that means I'm half right, and you don't have to pray too hard for me, huh? ;o)

    Oh, one last thing: *ahem* Where's the recipe, girl?! ;o)

  7. I'm going to have to try it for my co-workers at Thanksgiving, but I'm going to pass since I don't like pecans:).

    If you're praying for my tastes to change, you might want to add coffee and soup to that list - those are two more things I just don't *do*!

  8. Put me on your prayer list! I do NOT like pecan pie. lol

    But I will pass this to my daughter. She's been baking them recently for when we go to someone's home and to our ladies fellowship.

  9. This pie sounds delicious all except for the pecans. Oh I like them but I'm allergic. So I don't know if this means you have to pray for me to get right or not.

  13. You can buy pecans? Wow.
    We make walnut pie instead of pecan.
    We have a substitute syrup, but its very expensive. This will be great!

  14. Funny to see this entry. I was just today thinking that I would like to try a different pecan pie this Thanksgiving, and there was your recipe!

    You asked about what freezes best. I have always frozen my Christmas baking so that I could work ahead, and have always frozen everything - sugar cookies, peanut butter balls, sandies(Russian tea cakes) just whatever I feel like baking, and I have never had a problem getting people to eat it! I even freeze frosted cookies.

  15. Hi Tori! I made this pie for our New Year's Eve service last night. My husband said, "That pie is GOOD! . . . I mean it is REALLY GOOD!" He said later that he had FOUR pieces! Needless to say, it is on our Keeper List! ~ Ava
