Texas Pecan Pie

• 1 (9-inch) premade pie shell.
• 1/3 cup butter
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 3 whole eggs
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup broken pecans
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ¼ tsp. salt

Cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs.

Stir in the corn syrup, pecans, vanilla and salt.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell. Spraying the pie pan with PAM or a similar no-stick spray before placing pie shell can help keep the pastry crisp.

Bake the pie in a 375 degree oven for 30-40 minutes, or until it is just set in the center. Cool completely before serving.
