LOUISIANA ROASTED PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Dry roast the 1/2 cup of pecan pieces in a 300 degree F oven until dark; keep an eye on them so they don't burn, though. I start checking after 5 minutes and check frequently after that. When they're dark, transfer pecan pieces to a cutting board or plate and crush a little until they're in very small pieces. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Add sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla extract, bourbon (if using), salt and reserved roasted pecan pieces. Combine thoroughly then stir in the 1 cup of unroasted pecan halves.
• Pour mixture into an unbaked prepared pie shell, place pan on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes.
• Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees F and bake until filling is browned on top and crust is lightly browned; start checking after about 30 minutes in the oven.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool thoroughly before serving.

LA LOUISIANA PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Completely pave shell with nutmeats, crowding them in. Chill the shell for at least a half hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Combine the sugar, syrup and butter in a heavy saucepan. Whisk over low heat just until the butter is melted and ingredients blended. Remove from heat.
• Beat the eggs with the salt until completely mixed. Beat in lukewarm syrup mixture, then the vanilla and rum.
• Brush the rim of the shell with cream. Pour in filling mixture. (Pecans will start floating.)
• Cover the edges of the shell with aluminum foil. Set the pie on lower rack and bake 40 minutes. Cover center with another sheet of foil if it starts to brown too rapidly.
• Remove foil from the edges and continue to bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling puffed up. Cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes and serve pie warm or at room temperature.
