      Title: Best Pecan Pie
 Categories: Pastry, Nuts, Pies, Desserts
      Yield: 6 servings
 
           Dough for single-crust pie
    1/2 c  Butter
  2 1/2 c  Coarse chopped pecans
    3/4 c  Packed brown sugar
    3/4 c  Maple syrup
    1/2 ts Salt
      3 lg Eggs; beaten
      2 tb Whiskey or bourbon; opt
      2 ts Vanilla extract
           Whipped cream; opt
           Ground cinnamon; opt
 
  Set oven @ 350oF/175oC.
  
  On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick
  circle; transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2
  in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while
  preparing filling.
  
  In a Dutch oven or large saucepan, melt butter over
  medium heat. Add pecans; cook, stirring constantly,
  until very fragrant and pecans start to brown, 4-5
  minutes. Remove pecans with a slotted spoon, reserving
  butter in pan. Stir in brown sugar, maple syrup and
  salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 2
  minutes. Remove from the heat. In a bowl, whisk a small
  amount of the hot mixture into eggs; return all to the
  pan, whisking constantly. Stir whiskey, if desired, and
  vanilla into brown sugar mixture; stir in pecans. Pour
  into crust.
  
  Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out
  clean, 55-60 minutes. Cover edge with foil during the
  last 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary.
  Cool on a wire rack. If desired, top with whipped cream
  and cinnamon. Refrigerate leftovers.
