Notes
- Recipe Source: Food & Wine
- Tips:
- Pick the freshest pecans for the best taste. Roast pecans for 5 to 10 minutes before folding them into the filling mixture. It adds a crunchy texture and brings out a decent nutty flavor to the final product.
- Cool down the pie completely before slicing. The pie sets perfectly with a flaky crust and firm filling in the center while it cools to room temperature.
