BEST EVER PECAN PIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12” circle. Drape over pie dish and gently press to fit, making sure there are no air bubbles. Trim edge to 1” and tuck overhang under itself and crimp edges. Bake until lightly golden and only par-baked, 15 minutes.  Increase oven temperature to 400°. In a large bowl, beat eggs until slightly foamy, then stir in browned butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until fully combined, then stir in flour, milk, bourbon, and vanilla. Add pecans and chocolate chunks and stir until fully combined. Pour mixture into par-baked pie crust.  Bake 10 minutes, then lower oven to 325° and bake until top no longer jiggles in center, 40 to 50 minutes more.  Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9"-x-13" baking pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on two sides. Spray parchment. Beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in salt. While beating slowly add flour and beat just until clumps form.  Using your fingers or a greased back of a measuring cup, press dough into prepared pan. Pierce dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool while you make the filling. Make the filling: Combine butter, brown sugar, honey, granulated sugar, bourbon, heavy cream, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in pecans and vanilla. Pour pecan mixture onto baked crust.  Bake until golden, about 30 minutes.  Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars before serving.
