Ingredients & Directions


=== CRUST ===
1 1/2 c Flour
3 tb Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 Stick Cold butter; cut up
1 Egg yolk
3 tb Ice water
=== FILLING and ASSEMBLY ===
4 Eggs
1 c Brown sugar
2/3 c Light corn syrup
1/2 ts Salt
1/3 c Melted butter; cooled
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 tb Grand Marnier
(or other orange-flavored
-liqueur)
1/4 ts Orange zest
2 c Chopped pecans
Whipped cream; optional

CRUST: Mix flour, sugar and salt. Using food processor, pastry blender or
hands, cut butter into flour until it resembles small peas. Mix yolks and
water, and add to flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Wrap dough
in plastic wrap and chill 1 hour. Roll out pastry 1/8-inch thick. Roll up
on rolling pin and unroll in 9-inch pie tin. Trim off excess (it can be
used for decorating edges). Set crust in freezer until filling is prepared.
This will help crust edges retain their shape when baked. FILLING AND
ASSEMBLY: Lightly beat eggs. Whisk in brown sugar, corn syrup, salt,
butter, vanilla, orange liqueur and zest to make filling. Remove Crust from
freezer. Line bottom with chopped pecans and pour filling over nuts. Lift
pie and gently tap on counter top to release air bubbles. If necessary,
smooth out bubbles with spatula. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce
temperature to 325 degrees and cook until center of pie doesn’t jiggle when
moved, about 40 minutes. Cool before serving. Serve with whipped cream.
