Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Start by making this shortcrust pastry. Roll out the shortcrust pastry to a thickness of 1 cm and use to line a large pie dish. Bake blind for 15 minutes.

2. In a bowl, whisk the rest of the ingredients (except the pecans) until well combined. Fold in the pecans and pour the mixture into the pie dish.

3. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 2 hours, to set.

Cook's note: For best results, chill the pastry for 10 minutes in the pie dish before baking.

    For the Pecan pie I used 300g whole Pecan as 200g was insufficient for a bigger pie dish. I also heated the caramel and Pecan nuts on the stove until just below boiling before adding to the pie case. So far, everything has set and pie looks great.
