PECAN AND DATE PIE
INGREDIENTS: |
CRUST:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup vegetable shortening
- Cooking spray
|
FILLING:
- ½ cup whole pitted dates, chopped
- ¹/³ cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup dark corn syrup
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
|
DIRECTIONS: |
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- To prepare crust, lightly spoon 1 cup flour
into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine ¼ cup
flour, water, and juice, stirring with a whisk until well
blended to form a slurry.
- Combine ¾ cup flour, powdered sugar, and ¼
teaspoon salt; cut in shortening with a pastry blender or 2
knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add slurry; toss
with a fork until mixture is moist. Gently press mixture into a
4-inch circle on 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap that
overlap; cover with two additional sheets of overlapping plastic
wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into a 12-inch circle; freeze
10 minutes.
- Remove top 2 sheets of plastic wrap; let dough
stand 1 minute or until pliable. Fit dough, plastic wrap side
up, into bottom and up sides of pan. Fold edges under; flute.
- To prepare filling, sprinkle dates and pecans
evenly over bottom of crust. Combine corn syrup and remaining
ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed
until well blended. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Bake at
325 degrees for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted 1 inch from
the edge comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Yield: 10 servings (service size: 1 wedge).
