Ingredients

  • 110g/4oz unsalted butter
  • 110g/4oz golden syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 225g/8oz brown sugar
  • 3 free-range eggs
  • 1 x 245g/8½oz shop-bought shortcrust pastry
  • 285g/10oz pecan

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
  • Place the butter, golden syrup, vanilla extract and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat.
  • When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir well.
  • Set aside a small handful of the pecan nuts. Arrange the remaining pecan halves evenly in the pastry case and carefully pour over the syrup mixture.
  • Place into the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes - the pie will be golden-brown, but the filling should still be slightly soft.
  • Leave the pie to cool on a wire tray. As the pie begins to set, decorate the top with the reserved pecan halves. Serve in slices.
