Notes

  • You'll want some pecan pieces and some halves to make your pie just right. About half pieces and half halves usually works!
  • It's that heapting Tbs of flour that makes for a light upper crust (it's barely discernable, but it's there).
  • I prefer the dark karo for this recipe, but you can use the light and it will taste just fine.
  • If you find that the crusts of your pie are starting to brown too quickly, cover with some aluminum foil until the pie is done.
  • The pie is done when the center wiggles just barely, like santa's tummy.
