Bourbon Pecan Pie

Chef Jenn
Bourbon Pecan Pie is a rich, classic dessert with a flaky crust, a gooey pecan filling, and just enough bourbon to add warmth and depth.

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ⅓–½ cup cold water

For the Pie Filling

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup corn syrup
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup bourbon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A dash of salt
  • 1½ cups pecan halves

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • Mix the flour, butter, salt, and sugar until crumbly; add the water just until combined. Press the dough into a 9½-inch pie dish and freeze.
  • Heat the butter, the sugar, and the corn syrup until dissolved; cool slightly.
  • Whisk the eggs, bourbon, vanilla, and salt, then slowly whisk in the corn syrup mixture and stir in the pecans.
  • Pour the filling into the crust and bake for 55–60 minutes, until set with a slight jiggle. Cool, then refrigerate before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Let the corn syrup mixture cool slightly before adding it to the eggs to keep the filling smooth.
  • If the crust edges brown too quickly, tent them loosely with foil during baking.
  • The pie slices best once fully chilled.
