Have you tried my ‘Banana & Custard Tart’ yet? I have been repeatedly making the easy and yummy ‘Banana & Custard Tart’, and one day I wondered if I could make ‘Pecan Pie’ in the same way using ready-to-bake flan/pie base. That’s how I created this ‘Super Easy Pecan Pie’ recipe. I use Golden Syrup or Maple Syrup as most households in Australia have them in their pantry, but of course you can use corn syrup if you have.

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 160 to 170C. Place the frozen sweet pie base on an oven tray. It will thaw while you prepare the filling.
2

Mix melted Butter, Brown Sugar, Syrup, Eggs, Flour, Vanilla and the liquor of your choice very well, then warm in the microwave. Do not cook the mixture, you just need to warm it at low power for a few minutes.
3

Toast Pecan nuts lightly using a frying pan or a saucepan and arrange on the pie base. Pour the egg mixture over the Pecan nuts.
4

Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until cooked though. Cool completely.
