Описание: Treacle Pecan Pie

Ingredients
1 cup Golden Syrup OR Corn Syrup
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) pecans
1 (9-inch) unbaked OR frozen deep-dish pie crust

Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix treacle or corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.
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.
Place cookie sheet in oven and preheat oven as directed. Pour filling into frozen crust and bake on preheated cookie sheet.

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.

Ingredients ;
For the Shortcrust Pastry:
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter , chilled
5 tablespoons lard , chilled
1/3 cup ice cold water

INSTRUCTIONS:
For the Shortcrust Pastry:
Place the flour and salt in a food processor and pulse to blend.
Next add the cold butter and lard.
Pulse a few more times until the mixture still keeps some of the chunks of lard & butter.
Add the water a little at a time, pulsing between additions, until the mixture begins to come together.
DO NOT over-mix the dough or the pastry crust will be tough and won't be flaky.
The mixture is done when it resembles large streusel-like crumbs and when you take some and press it between your fingers it will hold together.
Form the dough into a ball, flatten into a 1-inch thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. (The shortcrust pastry can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for up to 3 months.)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Roll out the pastry dough. I find it easiest to roll it out on to plastic wrap, it makes transferring it to the pie pan easy.
Roll the pastry dough out so that there's a little excess around all sides of the pie pan (it will shrink when baked).
Carefully place the pastry crust into the pie pan and pierce (dock) it multiple times with a fork.
Line the pastry crust with parchment paper and fill it with dried beans or similar baking weights
Place the pie on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Remove the weights and parchment paper and continue to bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the crust is a very pale golden.
