How To Make Pecan Pie

Pastry for 9-inch one crust pie
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/3 cup raisins (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare pie pastry.
In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy; gradually add brown sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add corn syrup, pecans, salt, and vanilla extract; stir until well blended. Stir in raisins (optional), Pour into pastry-line pie plate.
Bake approximately 40 to 50 minutes. Pecan pie is done at the first signs of solidity in the center of the pie (center should not shake). NOTE: A knife inserted in the center will come out clean. Remember that the pie continues to cook after it is removed from the oven. Do not over bake!
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack before cutting and serving.
Makes 8 servings.
