Ingredients
- 200 g Plain Flour
- 100 g Butter Unsalted, cold and cubed
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 2 tbsp Cold Water
For the Filling:
- 200 g Pecan Halves
- Salt
- 150 g Golden Syrup
- 100 g Brown Sugar Light
- 50 g Butter Unsalted, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, blend together the plain flour and salt. Incorporate the cold, cubed butter by using your fingertips to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the egg yolk and cold water, stirring until the dough forms. Shape it into a flat disc, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to match the size of a 9-inch tart tin. Gently press it into the tin and trim off any excess.
- In a separate bowl, combine the golden syrup, light brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until thoroughly mixed.
- Evenly distribute the pecan halves over the pastry base.
- Pour the syrup mixture over the pecans, ensuring they are all evenly coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is firm and the pastry turns golden brown.
- Allow the pecan pie to cool before cutting and serving. It can be enjoyed either on its own or accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
