Old Fashion Pecan Pie

Sunday afternoon church basement carry in lunches – do you remember that one lady’s Pecan Pie? Me too! This pie is it!

I am kind of at a loss as to what to say about this pie – because, well, its just that good. I’m kind of speechless.

I have made this pie for at least 20 years and it is a recipe that comes from a recipe that was given to my mother by Pauline Beard, one of the WONDERFUL cooks at the church where I grew up. (See – it really is old fashioned!)  I have taken only a few liberties with the original recipe and it is  – well, its simply delish. It’s easy to make too.

You can make this one with your stand mixer- or you can simply mix it by hand – your choice. I have always mixed by hand – but this morning I used my stand mixer – and that made it even easier.

Have fun and enjoy this one with friends.

Let’s eat ya’ll!

And for my faithful readers – a post blog dessert. This is Seymour. Seymour has been hanging around for about as long as this recipe. I gave Seymour to my mother as a mother’s day gift when I was in college. Some years ago – my mother gave Seymour to me saying, “here you gave me this plant and it has taken over my sun room – I’m giving it back to you”. Seymour was much much smaller when I originally gifted him! Anyway, Seymour shares my office now since the weather has turned cold. I’m ready for warm weather again so that he can go back on the deck!

Thanksgiving is coming up and I've been looking for a pecan pie recipe. It would seem that I found it! This looks like the one my mom and I used to make when I was young and I'm very happy to have found it. Thank you for sharing.

I just have one question: is that half stick of butter salted or unsalted? I used to assume that no designation meant regular, salted butter but that no longer seems to be the rule.

Thanks!

Oh my mercy. I haven't had Pecan Pie... Real Pecan Pie... in about twenty eight years. I need to get this made ASAP. My mouth is watering, just thinking about it. I was about four years old, when I tried Pecan Pie for the first time. My daughter will be four in June, so it seems fitting I make this soon. Thank you.
