🛒 Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 egg large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp bourbon whiskey
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp sea salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. 2

   Make the pie crust by combining flour, butter, and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually add ice-cold water until a dough forms, then knead for 3-4 minutes until smooth.

3. 3

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch (3 mm) and carefully place it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming the edges to fit.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, and granulated sugar until well combined.

5. 5

   Add the heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, whisking until smooth.

6. 6

   Pour the sugar mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the top of the pie, then drizzle with the bourbon whiskey.

8. 8

   Bake the pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.

9. 9

   Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow it to cool to room temperature before serving.

💡 Pro Tips

To prevent the crust from shrinking during baking, chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes before adding the filling. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Store the pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
