BROWNED BUTTER PECAN PIE

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook 2 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until butter stops foaming and browned bits form at bottom of pan. Stir in sugar and corn syrup. Cook over low heat 15 to 18 minutes, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved. Cool 1 hour. Add vanilla bean paste, salt and eggs; beat with wire whisk until well blended.
• Heat oven to 325°F. Place pie crust in 9-inch glass pie plate as directed on box for One-Crust Filled Pie. Pour filling into crust-lined plate. Arrange pecan halves in concentric circles on top of filling. With fork, gently press pecans into filling to glaze, keeping pecans in circular pattern.
• Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Cover crust edge with strips of foil after 40 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Cool completely on cooling rack, 3 to 4 hours, before slicing.

BROWN BUTTER PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Melt the butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until butter turns golden brown (nut colored), about 4 minutes (do not burn.) Pour the butter into a small bowl and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Butter a 9-inch (not deep dish) pie pan lightly with butter. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of the food processor. Cut the frozen butter into quarters and add it to the flour mixture; process until mixture resembles moist sand. Add the water and process just until moist clump form. Using fingertips, press the dough evenly onto bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Crimp the edges decoratively if desired.
• Make the Filling: Melt Butter in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until butter turns golden brown (nut colored), about 4 minutes (do not burn.) Remove from heat and let stand until cooled but not set, about 10 minutes.
• Position the rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 375°F . Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, and salt until well blended in a medium bowl. Stir in both syrups, cream and browned butter. Mix in the pecans. Pour the mixture into an unbaked piecrust. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set, about 35 minutes. Cool completely. (Pie can be made 1 day ahead. Cover loosely and store at cool room temperature.).

BROWN BUTTER PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crust: Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Remove the butter from the freezer and work it into the dough by hand, working quickly to keep the butter as cold as possible. (Cold butter flakes are the secret to a flaky crust.) Be sure to leave pea-size butter flecks visible. Slowly pour the ice water into flour mixture. Using your hands, mix until a dough starts to form. Be careful not to overmix. It should appear shaggy but cohesive.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 1/4-inch-thick circle, 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough round to a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough down into the dish. Tuck any overhanging dough back under the rim, using your hands to create a thick outer edge. Use a fork to crimp the edges or your hands to pinch for a more professional look. Place in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the freezer. Using a toothpick or a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the crust. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill the raw pie shell with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake for 15 to 20 minutes until it begins to lightly brown. Remove from the oven and remove the parchment and pie weights.
• Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash. Return to the oven and bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• For the filling: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook the butter, letting it bubble and swirling the pan occasionally, until it browns, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, bourbon and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs. Fold in the pecans and salt. Once combined, stir in the brown butter. Pour the filling into the crust.
• Bake until the pie is golden brown, the filling is set and the internal temperature measures 200 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. (Check the pie after 30 minutes and tent the crust with foil if it is browning too quickly.) There should be a slight wiggle to the center of the pie. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the whipped cream: Add the heavy cream to a large chilled bowl. Using an electric hand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip on medium speed until soft, cloud-like peaks form. Turn the mixer speed to low and add the confectioners' sugar and salt. Gently fold in the bourbon.
• Slice the pie into 8 equal pieces and top each slice with bourbon whipped cream.
