Questions about Pecan pie
How do you know when pecan pie is baked?
The edges should look set, while the centre still has a slight wobble when you gently shake the tin. It will firm up as it cools; cutting it while warm can leave the filling runny.
Can you use golden syrup instead of corn syrup in pecan pie?
Yes. Replace it measure for measure; golden syrup gives the filling a deeper, more toffee-like flavour and can make it taste sweeter.
How should you store pecan pie?
Once cool, cover it and refrigerate it because the filling contains eggs. Keep it chilled for up to 4 days, and bring a slice to room temperature before serving if you prefer a softer filling.
Can you freeze pecan pie?
Yes. Wrap the cooled pie tightly, or freeze individual slices in sealed containers, for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the fridge.
What goes well with pecan pie?
Serve it with lightly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream; their cool, creamy texture balances the sticky, sweet filling. A little crème fraîche is a less-sweet option.
How is pecan pie different from pumpkin pie?
Pecan pie has a dense, sweet filling with crunchy nuts, while pumpkin pie is smooth and spiced. Pecan pie has 412 kcal per 100 g compared with 204 kcal in pumpkin pie.
Can you eat pecan pie if you have a nut allergy?
No: pecans are tree nuts, and pecan pie may also have contact with other nuts during preparation. Avoid it if you have a pecan or relevant tree-nut allergy.
Where did pecan pie come from?
Pecan pie is strongly associated with the southern United States, where pecans are native. Many modern recipes use corn syrup, though older versions were sweetened with ingredients such as cane syrup or honey.
