PECAN PIE - Lactose Free
This is my Mom’s recipe. I am lactose intolerant, so this has no butter or milk in the filling. If you love nut pies, be careful … it is hard to eat one piece!
~ Doug Kreinik
Ingredients
3 eggs-slightly beaten
1 cup blue label dark Karo Syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar (you can use brown sugar instead of white)
2/3 c pecans (I like to grind the nuts and place in the mix and then place whole nuts on top)
1 teaspoon Vanilla (preferably Mexican Vanilla)
1 pre-made Pillsbury Frozen Pie Crust
Step by Step
Preheat oven to 450 F
1) Mix eggs, Karo, salt, sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
2) Add nuts last
3) Roll out one pre-made Pillsbury Frozen Pie Crust and shape into pie pan or pie dish
4) Pour into uncooked pie crust
5) Bake at 450F (232C) for 10 minutes
6) Turn the oven down to 350F (178C) for 1/2 hour

If baked in glass dish, temperature should be 25F less.
Suggestions from Doug:
Things I have tried successfully to give the pie variety:
Replace the pecans with walnuts 2/3 cup
Replace the pecans with Quaker Oats 5 minute variety (2/3 cup)
Add Chocolate Chips to mix (1/2 cup)

I have prepared pecan tarts with the same recipe being using 2 Ready made pie shells rolled out, 2” muffin tins, baking them at 450F for 10min and 350F for 15min. This is great party food.

Kreinik Mfg. Co., Inc.
Kreinik, this past year, celebrated its 35th year in the Needlework business. From a little Mom and Pop company in the hills of the West Virginia to a respected world wide purveyor of metallic and silk threads, embellishments and notions, Kreinik has worked hard with stitchers from around the world to bring a quality and enjoyable product to fill the stitcher’s stash.

We pride ourselves in producing a great product along with this; we travel a lot and experience many local foods. Being that the family hobby, of always try new restaurants and different foods, we have acquired a taste for tasty foods. I enjoy cooking and baking and creating interesting dishes for others. I hope you will also enjoy some of my favorites. http://www.kreinik.com/
