I made this for Thanksgiving and every single person who tried it said it was the best pecan pie of their life. They've already requested I make it for Christmas too. MAKE THIS PIE!
Many decades ago I was hired to work at the legendary Pontchartain Hotel in New Orleans. At a luncheon I asked on uptown dowager , "May I bring you a slice of our Peecan Pie?" She montioned me over with her finger and whispered. "Young man, a peecan is what we put under our bed. Peacan is the lovely pie you are offering."
Being originally from Texas (my grandma planted a pecan tree for each of us grandkids) pecan pie showed up at every holiday dinner. This recipe sounds delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!
I made this for my mom and dad, both of whom grew up in SA and had pecan trees in their yards. They both loved this pie and have asked me to make it again for Christmas! This is a great recipe!!
This is the best pecan pie recipe i have ever tried! It is amazing! I honestly think using corn syrup makes it too sweet and using maple and honey is the best option. I have made this around 5 times now, it's i have gotten very good feedback (i didn't wanna use the word amazing again, ha 😅)
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was hands-down one of the best desserts I've ever had for the holidays. It's soooooo much better than any pecan pie made with corn syrup. I'm making it again for Christmas!
I always chop the pecans or use pieces bought from the store. That greatly increases the actual amount of nuts you can fit in the shell. Also, in this day of reduced family gatherings, I tend to do a combination pecan-pumpkin for just two of us.
That is a classy pie with all my favorite ingredients: butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, honey, pecans, bourbon, no cheap corn syrup. Last winter I ate honey. I toaster pecans in maple syrup, and I ordered in and ate bourbon pecans. And I eat butter all year round. Your pie looks and sounds delicious.
I've been trying to find a video to follow so I can make a pecan pie and this lady has the most trustworthy vibe so I'm choosing this video as the recipe I'll use forever now
I am pretty much a sugar addict, yet, I have always found pecan pie to be overly sweet for me as a pie. I have also found most sweet potato pies too bland. So I decided 35 years ago to mix the 2 together and for me it's perfection. This is my favourite Thanksgiving pie and many I serve it to agree.
I have Melissa Clark's books as I don't know much about making dessert or sweet pastries. This is the first time watching a Melissa Clark and hasn't disappointed me as with her books. A Legend. P.S. Has anyone tried adding orange blossom or orange zest with bourbon to the pie filling? Or nutmeg?
Ingredients Yield:8 servings All-purpose flour, for rolling out the dough Dough for a 9-inch single crust pie ½cup/115 grams unsalted butter ¼cup/85 grams maple syrup ¼cup/85 grams honey ½cup/110 grams light brown sugar ½cup/75 grams maple sugar or use more light brown sugar 3large eggs, at room temperature 1tablespoon bourbon (optional) 1teaspoon vanilla extract ¾teaspoon kosher salt 1½cups/180 grams pecan halves Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon (optional)
Been looking for the perfect pecan pie recipe for a while now. It's the kind of pie that I've been finding difficult to make from scratch as good as some store bought ones actually. Recipes with corn syrup have been underwhelming. I think that personally, I need maple syrup in my pecan pie and, this recipe is now the one to beat in my book.
Delicious! But if you like lots of pecans then double or triple the pecans! Thin layer of pecans and large layer of gooo is what you get here - delicious either way
Pecans are so expensive in my country. But it's one of my favorite nuts, 😂along with pistachios & hazelnuts. Although walnuts are quite affordable here. None of the nuts are grown here but are imported, but they are the best tasting nuts ever! I just love them in pies & cookies! 💙
I made this pecan pie twice last year (mainly because I wanted to use up the expensive maple sugar). I, along with my family were not overly impressed. The pie was good, but not good enough to want to buy maple sugar again.
If you want a hint of chocolate, borrow Rose Levy Berenbaum’s idea & paint the bottom of the pie crust with melted chocolate. A bitter chocolate would help cut the sweetness.
Hello, I had to use my ceramic pit pan, and put it for the longer amount of time. My pie filling turned into a jelly consistency, what am I doing wrong? Should I have removed it 10 minutes earlier even though it still seemed super liquid in the middle?
This NYT recipe had a tip for baking in a glass pie plate said to prebake for 15 minutes at 400 F (with foil and pie weights), then remove foil and pie weights and bake for 5 more minutes
i don't have this recipe handy so i can't give you any specific advice, but when you're using a glass pan you bake it for longer at a lower temperature. the standard rule of thumb is to drop the temp by 25 degrees and check for doneness earlier, going off cues like appearance and smell.

My second time making a pecan pie and this one smells amazing! The first one I made did not smell or look like this! I am in the kitchen right now making my second pie and I need to make one to taste! 😂😂😂
Great video ! .If you don't mind Do I need to add white honey on maple syrup to cool it down or it doesn't matter ? 2- can I add cinnamon to the mix and a pinch of cayenne pepper ? .best regards my dear .
Need Help - I followed this recipe and the 'goo' did not congeal. It was all liquidy even after cooling for 2 hours (1 at room temp, noticed it giggled a lot, then stuck in the fridge for another hour...no change. Maybe overnight will help, but that adds time to the prep time. Did anyone else's also not solidifying? What could have caused it to not become solid?
Today I am furiously searching for my old pecan pie recipe....the filling was cooked before it went into the shell, and that filling had 1T of flour in it. That flour gave the filling structure and it was nice and firm. So far I haven't found that recipe, but if you can find one like this, that will solve the problem and make a GREAT pie. I think it was in an old Southern Living cookbook.
Hi everyone- do you think this pecan pie recipe would turn out well if the butter was swapped out for vegan butter? I haven’t done much dairy free baking before but I wanted to make something yummy for a friend who’s dairy free. Thanks!
I just made this, watched this video while I did, and it most definitely did not look like this so I hope it taste better than what it looks like. I’m learning here!!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 I LOVE your pies Melissa!😋 I use sorghum molasses in my pecan pie!😋 Would you make one more pie for us?🙏🏿 🤭Please?😁 How's about a sugar cream pie next?🤷🏾♀️
it would work nicely - add about a tablespoon or to taste. i use maple sugar for my madeleines but it's proper expensive and if youre already adding maple syrup I cannot see that the maple sugar would accentuate the flavor - id just add light and dark sugar instead.
@@perryroobay 🙋🏾♀️ Thanks for your suggestions! I went shopping today and picked it up.🤷🏾♀️...I couldn't resist! Taste tested it, good stuff, and it is potent! So, yes i will use no more than a TB in my recipe. Thanks again!👍🏿 Happy🦃Thanksgiving!
A pecan pie recipe without high fructose corn syrup is a massive win. Great idea for the holidays.
I made this for Thanksgiving and every single person who tried it said it was the best pecan pie of their life. They've already requested I make it for Christmas too. MAKE THIS PIE!
Hi there! Did you follow the recipe to a T? I was thinking of leaving out the maple sugar and subbing bourbon for rum. Thoughts?
Bless your heart for standing up for the true pronunciation of our beloved nuts.
-A Texan
finally a video that doesn't lie to me about how long it takes for butter to brown
lol
Hahahahahahahah too funny!!

Just came here to testify that this recipe really works! It's the second time I'm making it and it works wonders!!! Delicious!

State tree of Texas!
Ur grandma sounds cool, I’m jealous 😭😎

A fabulous recipe NY...thanks.
It looks pretty terrific. It's probably my favorite pie too. And the additions you made with the maple and honey are awesome. Thank you.
This sounds glorious! I love that it's maple syrup and honey instead of corn syrup.
Brown Butter and Maple Sugar are two of my favorite baking ingredients.This looks amazing!
Her majesty Queen Melissa Clark, Thank you , we love you so much.

Still the best recipe. Melissa Clark rocks.
Wonderful recipe ! My family LOVED it ! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for clarifying the pronunciation.
Melissa Clark is a special human.
Made this with the shortcrust pastry from the last course cookbook and it worked out wonderfully! the first time that a pecan pie turned out great
What pastry are you talking about? I don't find anything called shortcrust or short crust in that book.
I always chop the pecans or use pieces bought from the store. That greatly increases the actual amount of nuts you can fit in the shell. Also, in this day of reduced family gatherings, I tend to do a combination pecan-pumpkin for just two of us.
This is hands down the most perfect ever

I'm not allowed to show up for Thanskgiving without one of these pies. Thanks for the perfect pecan pie recipe!
MADE THIS TODAY and it was GLORIOUS. Thank you. I didn't use maple sugar. I love pecan pie, but yeah, this one was a SMOOTH CRIMINAL.

I never used to toast my pecans first, but I did it once and I had to admit the pie tasted better.
Can't even get the recipe without adding ANOTHER subscription!
I Googled and found it on CBS's site.

@@Rickcas323 you're welcome
Melissa is always a treat to watch. If I could buy pecans where I live, I would totally try this recipe.
try it order pecans online
I will be making this pie. Hands down pecan pie is my all time favorite pie. Thanks

Pecan all the way! Melissa Clark is the best
Love your humor and the way you say pecan (I do too) thanks for a perfect recipe
This looks really good. I failed miserably to make one a few years back. I'll definitely give this one a go.
Beat the pie crust into submission , works for me. Using this recipe, love me a pecan pie.
Would anyone happen to have this recipe? The Description box link doesn’t work.
This turned out great. Everyone loved it.
😍Perfect !! Amazing preparations and so nice presentation. Great cooking !!👍
Melissa Clark is ADORABLE
New York anxiety is something else. Over-explaining and impatiently waiting for things to be done five minutes ago 🤣
I just read a tweet saying that it’s ‘peh-can,’ not ‘pee-can’ and it’s literally the reason why I’m looking for pecan pie videos on RUclips 😂
Can i use strictly honey instead of corn syrup or the additional maple syrup? Or maybe use molasses instead. Or molasses and honey?
Delicious! But if you like lots of pecans then double or triple the pecans! Thin layer of pecans and large layer of gooo is what you get here - delicious either way

This looks amazing! I will definitely be trying this
I always go for pecan for the same reason; which also explains why I go for a Snickers instead of a Mars.
The secret to my Mom's famous Pecan Pie was browned butter. Yours sounds even more delicious!
Pecan is my favorite thanksgiving pie too! Though my second favorite is apple.
The best pecan pie ever made and ever had!!
I made this pecan pie twice last year (mainly because I wanted to use up the expensive maple sugar). I, along with my family were not overly impressed. The pie was good, but not good enough to want to buy maple sugar again.
beautiful; thank you!!
Hey, would you guys happen to have laying around a good recipe for an eggless pecan pie?🤷🏾♀️
If you want a hint of chocolate, borrow Rose Levy Berenbaum’s idea & paint the bottom of the pie crust with melted chocolate. A bitter chocolate would help cut the sweetness.
Love the receipe.
Beautiful. I need a good dough recipe.
In her apple pie recipe video she has one.
I’m a huge fan of both pecan & sweet potato pies, but I prefer half the amount of fillings because I like the crush.
Amazing recipe. Fun fact, half of the recipe is the perfect amount of filling to make a tray of 12 butter pecan tarts, using a standard muffin pan.
Could never abide all the corn syrup and long ago traded it for honey and maple syrup on my own.

Really nice recipe 👍
when do you add the 1/2 c light brown sugar & 1/2 c maple sugar or light brown sugar?
She's shows it in the video, around 5 minutes in.
Gorgeous, a Texas classic. Where can I find that carbon steel pan Melissa uses to brown the butter?
find a local blacksmith, they're pretty easy to make and you support local artisans.
I think it's call panspan? Gordon Ramsay also uses it
Looks like a crepe pan. Check out Amazon, they probably carry that.
Where can I get the exact measurements for the sky?
Meant to write pie. Lol.
How much syrup, honey, sugar, vanilla, salt?
You have to PAY to get the recipe!
How would you adjust the cook time using glass instead of metal? I forget which you do for longer
idk how much longer u would have to bake it for but i do know the glass pan requires the longer cook time
I cooked it in glass and my was well done in 20 mins after the 10 mins at 400F. Granted my oven is calibrated to the right temp.

I grew up with a pea-CAN tree in my back yard. I'll say Pea-CAN, , lol🤣
My second time making a pecan pie and this one smells amazing! The first one I made did not smell or look like this! I am in the kitchen right now making my second pie and I need to make one to taste! 😂😂😂
Looks yummy 😍
Impossible to get to recipe without subscription, giving up
I ♥️ to brown butter for baking. If it is not in the recipe, how do you compensate for water loss?
You got me questing the unit of measurement. How much?
Great video ! .If you don't mind Do I need to add white honey on maple syrup to cool it down or it doesn't matter ?
2- can I add cinnamon to the mix and a pinch of cayenne pepper ? .best regards my dear .
Is brown butter the same as ghee? If not, then what’s the difference?
Ghee is pretty similar in taste, but I would say a bit more neutral and with brown butter the solids are not skimmed off
A cherry pecan hybrid is my ideal
Pecan is obviously the best. With some toasty black coffee.

The bomb! My family fights over it...
Well done,👌🏻 nice & the best recipe , looks so delicious ,I liked it 👍
That's your interpretation Ms. Clark. Ask any Southerner in the Carolinas...it's peacan!
Great is the recipe, I'm also a chef and I love making cooking videos, you did a great job!😋😋😋
Hi everyone- do you think this pecan pie recipe would turn out well if the butter was swapped out for vegan butter? I haven’t done much dairy free baking before but I wanted to make something yummy for a friend who’s dairy free. Thanks!
yes
Being a Texan I agree with your pronunciation. I was taught “puh-cahns” are for eating and pee-cans are for truckers 😜
I just made this, watched this video while I did, and it most definitely did not look like this so I hope it taste better than what it looks like. I’m learning here!!
That ending tho 😯. I always knew pumpkin pie was a lie.
Everything is a ......lie. shhh don't tell nobody.
Yummmmm~
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I LOVE your pies Melissa!😋
I use sorghum molasses in my pecan pie!😋
Would you make one more pie for us?🙏🏿
🤭Please?😁
How's about a sugar cream pie next?🤷🏾♀️
I like your method more. I dislike honey.
Yummy I love pecan pie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lmao.... I was just searching for one to say Pe-Can Pie lmao. You went for the dagger in the beginning.
I put a good amount of salt on top to balance the sweetness.
where do you get the recipe
I saw maple flavored extract in Walmart, is it worth trying?🤔
it would work nicely - add about a tablespoon or to taste. i use maple sugar for my madeleines but it's proper expensive and if youre already adding maple syrup I cannot see that the maple sugar would accentuate the flavor - id just add light and dark sugar instead.

salted or un salted butter??
Isn’t burnt butter super bitter?
Burnt butter is gross. Browned butter is delicious. They're two different things.
Bourbon how much and what kind of bourbon did you use I usually make mine without alcohol but I would like to actually try this one
Wow. Great opening. You said pecan correctly!!!
Thank you😅
No salt in the filling? Or was the butter salted?
She added the salt (3/4 t) to the sugars.
