Pecan Pie...

Below is the recipe, Steve, my friend from Aussie sent me today. It is very simple to cook and yummy.



Pastry Ingredients:
* 200grams plain flour
* 115grams unsalted butter
* 2 tablespoons caster sugar
* chilled water

Filling Ingredients:
* 70grams unsalted butter
* 100grams light muscovado/brown sugar
* 140grams golden syrup
* 2 large beaten eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 115grams pecan nuts roughy chopped
* 1 tablespoon dark rum

1. To make the pastry, place the flour into a bowl and rub the butter in with your fingertips until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and add just enough water to mix it into a firm dough. Wrap the dough and place it in the fridge for 15 minutes.

2. Pre-heat the over to 200 degrees Celcius. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface or between sheets of baking paper. Place into a 23cm/9inch tart tin and prick the base with a fork. Chill again in the fridge for 15 minutes.

3. Place baking paper over the tart base, fill with baking beads/beans/rice and bake the base for 10 minutes, remove the filling and bake for another 5 minutes. Reduce the over temperature to 180 degrees C.

4. To make the filling place the butter, sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan and heat gently until melted. Add the rum and immediately remove from the heat. Quickly beat in the eggs and vanilla.

5. Stir in the nuts and pur the mix into the pastry base and bake for about 35 minutes.

And enjoy !
