Title: Pecan Pies
Post by: Magicman on July 20, 2015, 07:35:51 PM
Pat needed to make two Pecan Pies for an upcoming special occasion.

The crust gets rolled out and carefully placed into the pie plates.

Then patted down,

Next is that "woman" thing with the crust edges.

Her 50 year old recipe gets poured into the pie shells.  This secret recipe was 25 years old when she got it, and this year is 25 years that she has been using it.

Into the oven they go for 55 minutes.

Baked and onto the cooling racks.   food6

Did she make one for you too? I do love a good pecan pie.  Like to use Steens in them.

If you want to change it up sometimes a couple spoonfuls of peanut butter in the "batter" is mighty good.

I think it should be illegal to post pictures like that. They sure look good and I know they taste even better. Congrats to you and Mrs. MW.

Man those look good, at least two lumps in the back of the throat when eating. Remember the little "Bama" pies in the tins, growing up those were a treat.  But MagicMan, not knowing "Steens" cane syrup could be considered negligence by a southerner ;D :D

those were the best pecan pies I have had.

Glad I was able to have the very last piece at the PR.

Well heres my story.....I have been talking about those Pecan Pies since they first made their picture debut in Magics post.
I saw those pies when they put them on the table.
But this being my first year, I stood back and let everyone else fill their plates before me so I could record videos of the members slobbering over all the food as they filled their plates.

After the crowd got their plate and found a spot to eat at the tables, I went through the line.
I have to give PatD credit......your Pecan Pies are soooo good even of I had to lick the metal pan.  :D

Tammy, you said pies did you have more than 1 piece?
Pat this was the best as I told you at the table.
If Linda and i can stop by for a visit I may try to cajole you into making one.
Lynn, I have been practicing the pronunciation and I now have it to p'caan

That there is the correct pronunciation.  And those tasty reviews from the Pigroast!!   Can I order up a pie, some blue crabs, and a Jax tray of crawfish please, just enough for two people so they don'y go away hungry 8)

Wrong.  When you are talking about PIES you should not want to mess with the cook.  She says Pecan Pies are correctly pronounced as she instructed you.......   ;D   :)

Steens is indeed good, but this is better IMHO.

DANg!!!!!!!!

When I went through the line, they was all gone.  Poston had even licked the aluminum pie tins  :'(.

Of course, the correct pronunciation is "Pee-Con". 

Title: Re: Pecan Pies
Post by: Magicman on August 04, 2015, 07:07:25 AM
Most folks that cannot pronounce correctly also can not see well.  The pies not in aluminum pie tins.  They were in clear glass Pyrex pie dishes.   ;D

OK, so I need another chance to ID the container properly and redeem myself, so I suppose that you must certainly commission Pat to make some more.  There, it will all work out in the end, and the mis-identified containers will not get offended.
