The Best Pecan Pie Recipe | Melissa Clark | NYT Cooking

[@mosesking2923]

A pecan pie recipe without high fructose corn syrup is a massive win. Great idea for the holidays.

[@EmilyBurke-p4k]

I made this for Thanksgiving and every single person who tried it said it was the best pecan pie of their life. They've already requested I make it for Christmas too. MAKE THIS PIE!

[@viovsa-f1]

Hi there! Did you follow the recipe to a T? I was thinking of leaving out the maple sugar and subbing bourbon for rum. Thoughts?

[@mrpankau]

Bless your heart for standing up for the true pronunciation of our beloved nuts. -A Texan

[@anthonydolio8118]

It looks pretty terrific. It's probably my favorite pie too. And the additions you made with the maple and honey are awesome. Thank you.

[@alymmm2085]

finally a video that doesn't lie to me about how long it takes for butter to brown

[@R2B2YT]

lol

[@yogie4130]

Hahahahahahahah too funny!!

[@suelibonafim3154]

Just came here to testify that this recipe really works! It's the second time I'm making it and it works wonders!!! Delicious!

[@jonimaricruz1692]

Being originally from Texas (my grandma planted a pecan tree for each of us grandkids) pecan pie showed up at every holiday dinner. This recipe sounds delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!

[@jackmedlin41]

State tree of Texas!

[@arissarodriguez6765]

Ur grandma sounds cool, I’m jealous 😭😎

[@rogermartinez6043]

I made this for my mom and dad, both of whom grew up in SA and had pecan trees in their yards. They both loved this pie and have asked me to make it again for Christmas! This is a great recipe!!

[@lilianaprina5991]

A fabulous recipe NY...thanks.

[@sfowler1017]

This sounds glorious! I love that it's maple syrup and honey instead of corn syrup.

[@kyvalrie3646]

Brown Butter and Maple Sugar are two of my favorite baking ingredients.This looks amazing!

[@mbbongiorni]

Many decades ago I was hired to work at the legendary Pontchartain Hotel in New Orleans. At a luncheon I asked on uptown dowager , "May I bring you a slice of our Peecan Pie?" She montioned me over with her finger and whispered. "Young man, a peecan is what we put under our bed. Peacan is the lovely pie you are offering."

[@kushiro123]

Her majesty Queen Melissa Clark, Thank you , we love you so much.

[@lirael423]

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was hands-down one of the best desserts I've ever had for the holidays. It's soooooo much better than any pecan pie made with corn syrup. I'm making it again for Christmas!

[@ellegirl87]

Made this with the shortcrust pastry from the last course cookbook and it worked out wonderfully! the first time that a pecan pie turned out great

[@angusblacky]

What pastry are you talking about? I don't find anything called shortcrust or short crust in that book.

[@ShaiTeller]

This is the best pecan pie recipe i have ever tried! It is amazing! I honestly think using corn syrup makes it too sweet and using maple and honey is the best option. I have made this around 5 times now, it's i have gotten very good feedback (i didn't wanna use the word amazing again, ha 😅)

[@HerbSeasoned]

Melissa Clark is a special human.

[@nydia277]

Wonderful recipe ! My family LOVED it ! Thank you for sharing

[@ellenellis1216]

This is hands down the most perfect ever Pecan pie recipe!

[@codyreyess8401]

I've been trying to find a video to follow so I can make a pecan pie and this lady has the most trustworthy vibe so I'm choosing this video as the recipe I'll use forever now

[@lennzen]

haha me2

[@Jan96106]

That is a classy pie with all my favorite ingredients: butter, maple syrup, brown sugar, honey, pecans, bourbon, no cheap corn syrup. Last winter I ate honey. I toaster pecans in maple syrup, and I ordered in and ate bourbon pecans. And I eat butter all year round. Your pie looks and sounds delicious.

[@christopheralvarez3269]

Still the best recipe. Melissa Clark rocks.

[@lahnaflore2621]

I love Melissa Clark!!!

[@lisakilmer2667]

I always chop the pecans or use pieces bought from the store. That greatly increases the actual amount of nuts you can fit in the shell. Also, in this day of reduced family gatherings, I tend to do a combination pecan-pumpkin for just two of us.

[@debyahysrael8264]

Thank you for clarifying the pronunciation.

[@fugenturkoglu]

I have Melissa Clark's books as I don't know much about making dessert or sweet pastries. This is the first time watching a Melissa Clark and hasn't disappointed me as with her books. A Legend. P.S. Has anyone tried adding orange blossom or orange zest with bourbon to the pie filling? Or nutmeg?

[@kantarjiev]

I'm not allowed to show up for Thanskgiving without one of these pies. Thanks for the perfect pecan pie recipe!

[@Paulxl]

Melissa is always a treat to watch. If I could buy pecans where I live, I would totally try this recipe.

[@jackiepeavy5505]

try it order pecans online

[@georgearnold841]

I am pretty much a sugar addict, yet, I have always found pecan pie to be overly sweet for me as a pie. I have also found most sweet potato pies too bland. So I decided 35 years ago to mix the 2 together and for me it's perfection. This is my favourite Thanksgiving pie and many I serve it to agree.

[@childofTheMostHigh4217]

Would love to know your recipe!😊

[@OptimusTOM]

MADE THIS TODAY and it was GLORIOUS. Thank you. I didn't use maple sugar. I love pecan pie, but yeah, this one was a SMOOTH CRIMINAL.

[@happytx1860]

I will be making this pie. Hands down pecan pie is my all time favorite pie. Thanks

[@Rickcas323]

Can't even get the recipe without adding ANOTHER subscription!

[@MustardSeedish]

I Googled and found it on CBS's site.

[@Rickcas323]

@etik-k4028 Thank you!

[@etik-k4028]

@@Rickcas323 you're welcome

[@popvoid]

I never used to toast my pecans first, but I did it once and I had to admit the pie tasted better.

[@claudebeaudry4111]

Been looking for the perfect pecan pie recipe for a while now. It's the kind of pie that I've been finding difficult to make from scratch as good as some store bought ones actually. Recipes with corn syrup have been underwhelming. I think that personally, I need maple syrup in my pecan pie and, this recipe is now the one to beat in my book.

[@DJ-fn3jm]

That little smirk @ 0:54 That pie looks amazing.

[@dmoosh]

Love your humor and the way you say pecan (I do too) thanks for a perfect recipe

[@lucasluckproductions]

This looks really good. I failed miserably to make one a few years back. I'll definitely give this one a go.

[@DrabberPlot7000]

Can i use strictly honey instead of corn syrup or the additional maple syrup? Or maybe use molasses instead. Or molasses and honey?

[@485OCEAN]

loveeee for a time like this!

[@claudiomatera7211]

Pecan all the way! Melissa Clark is the best

[@ericabergman2225]

Would anyone happen to have this recipe? The Description box link doesn’t work.

[@meganrumpelt6713]

Melissa Clark is ADORABLE

[@foodyumaroma]

😍Perfect !! Amazing preparations and so nice presentation. Great cooking !!👍

[@bevsmith4225]

Beat the pie crust into submission , works for me. Using this recipe, love me a pecan pie.

[@QIKWIA]

Hey, would you guys happen to have laying around a good recipe for an eggless pecan pie?🤷🏾‍♀️

[@sarnaseven19]

Pecans are so expensive in my country. But it's one of my favorite nuts, 😂along with pistachios & hazelnuts. Although walnuts are quite affordable here. None of the nuts are grown here but are imported, but they are the best tasting nuts ever! I just love them in pies & cookies! 💙

[@schreix27]

This turned out great. Everyone loved it.

[@ArgentinaCook]

Delicious! But if you like lots of pecans then double or triple the pecans! Thin layer of pecans and large layer of gooo is what you get here - delicious either way

[@joshevans5127]

Gorgeous, a Texas classic. Where can I find that carbon steel pan Melissa uses to brown the butter?

[@wendigo1968]

find a local blacksmith, they're pretty easy to make and you support local artisans.

[@SUPERRITA0830]

I think it's call panspan? Gordon Ramsay also uses it

[@apAvocado]

Looks like a crepe pan. Check out Amazon, they probably carry that.

[@samborolossi]

Great video ! .If you don't mind Do I need to add white honey on maple syrup to cool it down or it doesn't matter ? 2- can I add cinnamon to the mix and a pinch of cayenne pepper ? .best regards my dear .

[@JBryan-sx8qs]

The secret to my Mom's famous Pecan Pie was browned butter. Yours sounds even more delicious!

[@sliverscreencritic]

Pecan is my favorite thanksgiving pie too! Though my second favorite is apple.

[@christineyork3500]

Hello, I had to use my ceramic pit pan, and put it for the longer amount of time. My pie filling turned into a jelly consistency, what am I doing wrong? Should I have removed it 10 minutes earlier even though it still seemed super liquid in the middle?

[@dhusseini]

This NYT recipe had a tip for baking in a glass pie plate said to prebake for 15 minutes at 400 F (with foil and pie weights), then remove foil and pie weights and bake for 5 more minutes

[@janeflannery8757]

What kind of dough was that? (Besides the store-bought or home-made variety, which goes without saying). Thanks very much.

[@joleeli]

The best pecan pie ever made and ever had!!

[@callioscope]

I ♥️ to brown butter for baking. If it is not in the recipe, how do you compensate for water loss?

[@saram2557]

This looks amazing! I will definitely be trying this

[@margerykaye5121]

when do you add the 1/2 c light brown sugar & 1/2 c maple sugar or light brown sugar?

[@lirael423]

She's shows it in the video, around 5 minutes in.

[@Sylphadora]

I just read a tweet saying that it’s ‘peh-can,’ not ‘pee-can’ and it’s literally the reason why I’m looking for pecan pie videos on KZbin 😂

[@Jeedehem]

I always go for pecan for the same reason; which also explains why I go for a Snickers instead of a Mars.

[@RichardPhilabaum]

You got me questing the unit of measurement. How much?

[@AndrewLaValley]

How would you adjust the cook time using glass instead of metal? I forget which you do for longer

[@sophiaraquelortiz]

idk how much longer u would have to bake it for but i do know the glass pan requires the longer cook time

[@dietrevich]

I cooked it in glass and my was well done in 20 mins after the 10 mins at 400F. Granted my oven is calibrated to the right temp.

[@fgferraro]

i don't have this recipe handy so i can't give you any specific advice, but when you're using a glass pan you bake it for longer at a lower temperature. the standard rule of thumb is to drop the temp by 25 degrees and check for doneness earlier, going off cues like appearance and smell.

[@dhusseini]

This NYT recipe had a tip for baking in a glass pie plate said to prebake for 15 minutes at 400 F (with foil and pie weights), then remove foil and pie weights and bake for 5 more minutes

[@spotsboss]

How much syrup, honey, sugar, vanilla, salt?

[@Rickcas323]

You have to PAY to get the recipe!

[@MassiUb]

New York anxiety is something else. Over-explaining and impatiently waiting for things to be done five minutes ago 🤣

[@melaniejubara3178]

Love the receipe.

[@karinaaguilar4934]

I made this pecan pie twice last year (mainly because I wanted to use up the expensive maple sugar). I, along with my family were not overly impressed. The pie was good, but not good enough to want to buy maple sugar again.

[@swatibhartiya7457]

Is brown butter the same as ghee? If not, then what’s the difference?

[@sanroccoitalia]

Ghee is pretty similar in taste, but I would say a bit more neutral and with brown butter the solids are not skimmed off

[@constantin1959]

beautiful; thank you!!

[@Bluemist77]

Beautiful. I need a good dough recipe.

[@susnkane]

In her apple pie recipe video she has one.

[@lookup7055]

I’m a huge fan of both pecan & sweet potato pies, but I prefer half the amount of fillings because I like the crush.

[@Valoop]

Where can I get the exact measurements for the sky?

[@Valoop]

Meant to write pie. Lol.

[@vivalaleta]

Could never abide all the corn syrup and long ago traded it for honey and maple syrup on my own.

[@danbev8542]

If you want a hint of chocolate, borrow Rose Levy Berenbaum’s idea & paint the bottom of the pie crust with melted chocolate. A bitter chocolate would help cut the sweetness.

[@albalu151]

I just made this, watched this video while I did, and it most definitely did not look like this so I hope it taste better than what it looks like. I’m learning here!!

[@QIKWIA]

I saw maple flavored extract in Walmart, is it worth trying?🤔

[@perryroobay]

it would work nicely - add about a tablespoon or to taste. i use maple sugar for my madeleines but it's proper expensive and if youre already adding maple syrup I cannot see that the maple sugar would accentuate the flavor - id just add light and dark sugar instead.

[@QIKWIA]

@@perryroobay 🙋🏾‍♀️ Thanks for your suggestions! I went shopping today and picked it up.🤷🏾‍♀️...I couldn't resist! Taste tested it, good stuff, and it is potent! So, yes i will use no more than a TB in my recipe. Thanks again!👍🏿 Happy🦃Thanksgiving!

[@existenz01]

Need Help - I followed this recipe and the 'goo' did not congeal. It was all liquidy even after cooling for 2 hours (1 at room temp, noticed it giggled a lot, then stuck in the fridge for another hour...no change. Maybe overnight will help, but that adds time to the prep time. Did anyone else's also not solidifying? What could have caused it to not become solid?

[@bevtuft3572]

Today I am furiously searching for my old pecan pie recipe....the filling was cooked before it went into the shell, and that filling had 1T of flour in it. That flour gave the filling structure and it was nice and firm. So far I haven't found that recipe, but if you can find one like this, that will solve the problem and make a GREAT pie. I think it was in an old Southern Living cookbook.

[@Dimples777]

Bourbon how much and what kind of bourbon did you use I usually make mine without alcohol but I would like to actually try this one

[@keithpolish4000]

salted or un salted butter??

[@SUPERRITA0830]

I don't eat dairy, what should I do??

[@marygant1980]

My second time making a pecan pie and this one smells amazing! The first one I made did not smell or look like this! I am in the kitchen right now making my second pie and I need to make one to taste! 😂😂😂

[@williamsmith2836]

where do you get the recipe

[@angelataraeva2849]

How is it that the crust is golden after 1 hour of baking? Mine goes brown (

[@Ollie7707]

Pecan is obviously the best. With some toasty black coffee.

[@marygant1980]

So, I made this recipe, and the pies turned out great! But on Thanksgiving, I cut into one of the deep dish pie, and while cutting it, liquid came out. What did I do wrong? The thinner crust pies came out great, and the filled did not turn into liquid. I made the pies on Wednesday at midnight. I placed one of the pies in the refrigerator to see if the liquid turns back into jelly. Help!

[@AshtonColby]

A cherry pecan hybrid is my ideal

[@Thagrinch]

Amazing recipe. Fun fact, half of the recipe is the perfect amount of filling to make a tray of 12 butter pecan tarts, using a standard muffin pan.

[@sweetheartgourmetrecipes4829]

Great is the recipe, I'm also a chef and I love making cooking videos, you did a great job!😋😋😋

[@jasonkaminski6230]

No salt in the filling? Or was the butter salted?

[@lorassorkin]

She added the salt (3/4 t) to the sugars.

[@QIKWIA]

yeah, we did the same. It’s completely runny, baked for an hour plus
