Steps

Prepare the Crust

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it in with your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix! Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare Pie Shell

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 25 cm (10-inch) circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 23 cm (9-inch) pie dish, trim any excess, and crimp the edges as desired. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork, then blind bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Make the Filling

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Arrange the pecan halves evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.

Bake the Pie

Pour the egg and syrup mixture over the pecans in the pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges of the filling are set and the center is still slightly jiggly. If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Extra Tips

► For a perfectly flaky crust, ensure both your butter and water are ice-cold, and avoid overworking the dough.

► If the top of your pie starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent it with aluminum foil during the last third of the baking time.

► Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing; this helps the filling set properly and makes for cleaner cuts.
