Pecan Pie

 Result seems quite nice. Crust at the edges may be slightly too brown.



Make the pie crust roughly as per https://www.davidlebovitz.com/french-tart-dough-a-la-francaise/

With the following modifications.

1. I have 10in dish, so should increase the amount.

2. I used a stove and steel pot, instead of oven. This is also a lot faster.

3. I put pebble weights on the dish, put in the freezer for 10 mins. Then baked in oven at 210C for 10 mins. After that, I remove the weights and bake until slightly brown and set. I wanted to avoid the crust rising and cracking.


I used the pecan pie filling as per https://cookiesandcups.com/easy-pecan-pie-recipe/

Except that I halve all quantities, and use a little less sugar. The intention is to make the nuttiness shine and make it less sweet.

Then I glazed the result with the remaining filling and a brush.
