What is "pecan pie"?
Pecan pie is a dessert that is popular in many parts of the world, especially in the southern United States. It features a decadent filling made from a mixture of pecans, eggs, corn syrup, sugar, and butter, which is poured into a pastry crust and baked until golden and set. The pecans in the filling add a wonderful nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch, while the sweetness of the filling is balanced by the buttery richness of the pastry crust. Pecan pie is often served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, making it a perfect dessert for any occasion.
