Steps:
- Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in lard and butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about the size of peas. Sprinkle with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix lightly with a fork after each addition, until mixture is moistened. Turn out dough onto a clean work surface and shape into a flattened disk. Wrap in plastic; transfer to refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
- Lightly flour a pastry cloth and roll out dough on cloth, using a covered rolling pin, to a 12-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick. With a dry pastry brush, sweep off excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch glass pie plate. Trim to a 1/2-inch overhang all around. Fold under and crimp edges.
- Make the filling: Preheat oven with a rack set in the lower third to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, salt, vanilla, almond extract, toffee bits, and chopped pecans.
- Pour filling into pie crust. Top with pecans by evenly spacing 14 of them around the outer edge of pie filling. Make a second row by evenly spacing seven pecans in a smaller circle in the center; place 1 pecan in center.
- Transfer pie to oven; bake for 20 minutes. Cover with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and continue baking until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 30 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
BLUE RIBBON PECAN PIE
I dislike using Corn Syrup in my pecan pies, because most are GMO (bad bad bad). Finding organic corn syrup is time consuming and expensive. I like to use the recipe for Lyle's Golden Syrup normally. Found this recipe on FB and thought it might be good since all the ingredients are on hand.

Steps:
- 1. Blue Ribbon Pecan Pie Recipe By Mario Gutierrez Game plan: If you choose, you can decorate the top of your pie by arranging about a 1/2 cup of pecan halves around the edge of the filling, next to the crust. INGREDIENTS Flour, for dusting the work surface Flaky Pie Crust 1 cup packed light brown sugar, dark muscovado sugar, or turbinado sugar 2/3 cup raw honey 5 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature, plus more for coating the pie plate 2 tablespoons dark rum 3 large eggs 1 tablespoon AP flour 2 tablespoons heavy cream 2 cups pecan halves, coarsely chopped (about 8 ounces) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest 1/4 teaspoon fine salt INSTRUCTIONS Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the lower third. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with butter; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 12 inches in diameter and between 1/4 and 1/8 inch thick. Without stretching the dough, line the prepared pie plate and trim to leave a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold the overhanging dough underneath itself, crimping the edges with two fingers along the rim of the pie plate to form a high, fluted border. Cover the pie shell in plastic and chill until needed. Place the sugar, honey, butter, and rum in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly and scraping back in any foam that clings to the sides of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool to lukewarm, at least 15 minutes. Beat the eggs in a small bowl until the yolks and whites are broken up and incorporated, then beat into the cooled syrup. Add the pecans, vanilla, flour, cream, orange zest and salt and stir to combine. Pour into the chilled pie shell. Bake until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center, about 50 minutes. Cool the pie completely on a wire rack.
- 2. Slightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- 2. Mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.
- 3. Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes (see tips for doneness, below). Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving. **To use prepared frozen pie crust: Place cookie sheet in oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake on preheated cookie sheet.
- 4. While the pie is bake, prepare Jello pudding according to package directions. Put in the refrigerator to cool.
- 5. When pudding and pie are chilled, spread pudding over the pie. In a mixing bowl whip heavy cream till almost stiff. Add sugar and vanilla and whip until cream holds peaks. Top pie with whip cream.
- 6. If you would like to garnish pie, Melt a 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler, whisk in about 2-3 tablespoons of milk, whisk until smooth, put in a squeeze bottle, or do like I do, put it in a zipper bag and cut the very tip out of a corner and drizzle over the pie. Enjoy!
- 7. RECIPE TIPS: Pie is done when center reaches 200°F. Tap center surface of pie lightly - it should spring back when done. For easy clean up, spray pie pan with cooking spray before placing pie crust in pan. If pie crust is overbrowning, cover edges with foil. NUTRITION TIP: To reduce calories, substitute new Karo® Lite Syrup for the Karo® Light or Dark Corn Syrup. High Altitude Adjustments: Reduce sugar to 1/4 cup and increase butter to 2 tablespoons. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. VARIATION: coarsely chopped walnuts may be substituted for pecans to make a walnut pie.
