Should you roast pecans before making pecan pie?
Whichever recipe you choose, always toast your pecans before adding them to the filling. Toasting nuts before stirring them into your pie is a quick and easy way to intensify flavor and add some extra crunch.
What are common pecan pie mistakes?
Pecan pie has a somewhat similar set of issues—the filling can crack, the bottom can be under-baked, the filling can seep under the crust, and the nuts can be soggy. Like the pumpkin pie, the filling will crack if the pie is over-baked or cools too quickly.
Is there a substitute for dark Karo syrup for pecan pie?
For 1 cup of dark corn syrup, you can use the following substitutions: 3/4 cup light corn syrup plus 1/4 molasses. 1 cup honey. 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water or other liquid used in the recipe.
