This is a really sweet pecan pie alternative. Slightly more gooey, but just as delicious, it doesn't take forever to make but looks delicious on the table. I've gotten killer compliments every time I make this.

Note: Images to come soon

== Preheat ==

Preheat your oven to 375

== Ingredients ==

'''Pastry'''*

1 1/2 Cups of Flour
*4 TBSP Sugar
*1/2 Cup of Chilled Butter cut into small chunks
*1 Egg (Lightly Beaten)
*1 TBSP of Cold Water

'''Filling:'''

1 Cup of Sugar
1 1/2 Cups of Corn Syrup
4 Eggs (Lightly Beaten)
4 TBSP of soft butter
1 TSP of Vanilla
2 Cups of Pecan Halves

== The Pastry ==

*Sift the flour and sugar together, cutting in the butter until crumbly
*Add the egg and water into the dough until it's moistened, then form into a ball and chill
*Roll or press into a 9 or 10 inch pan with a removable bottom (A flan pan or springform cake pan work best)

== The Sweet Sugary Goodness (Filling) ==

*In a saucepan combine the sugar and corn syrup, bringing it to a boil over medium to high heat
*Remove the pan from the heat and slowly pour in the beaten eggs and whisk, if you want to be extra careful you should temper this step.
*Stir in butter, vanilla and pecans
*Pour resulting mixture into the unbaked shell.

*Bake for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and the pecans and filling have glazed together.

== Serving ==

*Slice narrow wedges and top with ice cream or whipping cream, melted chocolate makes an excellent garnish and plate presentation

== Variations ==

*None
