Brenda's Pecan Pie

[Barbarainnc]

This pie doesn't use corn syrup and is firm, not liquidity and soft like other recipes.Yes it has cornmeal, but you don't taste it. This is the only Pecan Pie I make.


Brenda's Pecan Pie

1 box light brown sugar

1 stick of margarine,melted

4 eggs

2 Tablespoons of yellow cornmeal, plain not self-
rising

2 Tablespoons water

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1 teaspoon of salt

2 cups chopped pecans

2 regular frozen pie shells, unbaked


Mix everything in a bowl and divide between the 2 pie shells. I put the pies on a sheet pan and baked them at 325* for 45 min. Let cool.

Barbarainnc,

Your pecan pie is almost identical to the one that I make. I do not use corn syrup either. I also make pecan pie that uses buttermilk in it and no corn syrup. It is very good too.
