Mix white sugar, brown sugar and salt in a bowl.

Add in melted butter… you may use salted butter or unsalted depending your preference.

Add in corn syrup and whisk lightly.

Add in vanilla extract.

Add in whole eggs and beat lightly in the mixture. Whisk gently.

Spread chopped pecans over the unbaked pie crust. The original recipe adds in chopped pecans about a cup… I am using half cup chopped nuts and the other half whole nuts for decoration on top.

Pour in the syrup over this chopped nuts… do not worry these will raise to the top once they bake.

Do not worry these will raise to the top once they bake.

Place the pie plate over a large oven proof tray. Arrange whole pecans over it. This is optional but just to make it fancy.

Using a fork… gently press the corners for more designed look.

Cover with foil and place it in 350F preheated oven.

Bake for 30 minutes covered with foil.  RED LOBSTER CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS

After the first 30 minutes … it will look half baked but the filling will still be jiggly when you shake.  Continue baking uncovered for another 20 minutes.

Once done, allow it to cool for 2 hours or overnight. Serve in thin slivers.

Pecan pie can be frozen or kept at room temperature for a few days before serving.

The pie usually takes a while to set.. oven timing may vary by few minutes. Take care not to bake longer it might brown the nuts. The original recipe calls for baking first 30 minutes covered and thereafter uncovered for 20 minutes. Depending on your oven, it might either cooks in 15 minutes or may take a a little over 20 minutes.
