Pecan Pie

Don't get me wrong, I like cupcakes but I adore pies, especially pecan pie. My friends Bret and Christine shared their recipe and it has become one of my standards. I used Martha's Pate Brise recipe for the crust and it tastes great every time. I always thought bakeries were so stingy with their pie crusts and I always make sure mine are thick. My reliable food processor blends cold flour and butter, salt, and ice water. Make sure to chill dough before and after forming pie crust. Pour the filling in (recipe will remain a secret) and bake for 350 for 40 minutes.
