Pecan Pie

Ingredients

• 3 beaten eggs
• 1 cup dark corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 2/3 cup pecans or hickory nuts
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 unbaked pie shell

Steps

1. Mix all the ingredients except the pecans.
2. Pour into an unbaked pie shell.
3. Place the pecans on top — but the card says it’s best to just mix them in with the other ingredients.
4. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes, then at 325° for 30 minutes.

Notes

Handwritten in pencil on an old, folded sheet of paper. It’s signed at the bottom in parentheses with a name that’s hard to read (it looks like “Alisteen”).
