Changes I made to this pie: We did 1/2 cup sugar. It made it way less sweet, I like it better with 1 cup, my husband preferred it with 1/2 cup. I browned the butter before incorporating into mixture. I soaked the pecans in bourbon for about an hour before baking, this made the pie have a very strong bourbon flavor that my husband loved, me and the kids not so much.
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoon bourbon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecans, chopped - plus several halves for decorating top, if desired
Mix together eggs, sugar, corn syrups, butter, bourbon, vanilla and salt until well blended.
Pierce bottom of pie crust several times with a fork and spread chopped pecans on the bottom. Pour syrup mixed over chopped nuts and decorate top with halved pecans.
Bake 35 to 45 minutes at 375*
