Hello all,
I would like to try my luck and make a pecan pie from scratch but there are a few days now that I’m keep searching an easy to follow recipe but can’t find any…

Most recipes I’ve found use the pastry dough already done, the one that you buy and is ready to use but here I cannot find it so I would like to make it from scratch.

Another problem for me is that recipes in cups don’t work for me…I believe the conversions I do to grams are never correct…yep…it happens every time to me and the results sometimes are not even edible…

Any suggestions of a good recipe with steps by steps to follow, for my “home no-baker that never did a pecan pie level” would be very appreciated.

I’ve only made a pecan pie once, but I used a ready made crust : (. If it still helps the recipe is on my blog… good luck with your pie, I bet it will be amazing ๐โ๏ธ
I’m not against the ready made crust only that I cannot find it…I’ve took a look at yours…so pretty with the hearts shape made of pecan ๐ The pie crust is what type of crust? Here I can only find puff pastry to filo pastry…๐คช
Ohhh, that’s unfortunate ๐! I actually used a roll and bake 9″ pie crust from Kroger, not a puff one. Thanks ๐, I hope you manage to find one or decide to make one, either way the pie will be delicious ๐โ๏ธ
I hope you find it or
Happy Panda advise here a super recipe for the crust โบ๏ธ Iโll give it a try and see what I can do ๐๐คช
Thank you very much โบ๏ธ
I love Bigger Bolder Baking. Gemma has the best yet easiest recipes for all sorts of baking. She’s done a variety of pecan pies on her blog.

Oh wow! It has the pie crust recipe, step by step instructions and the ingredients in grams too ๐คฉ Thank you very much! I will definitely try it! What a wonderful blog! Thank you! Very appreciated ๐
Mine uses premade pie dough….sorry. I also don’t know abou the conversion. Let me kniw if oyu have prblem, I’ll dig my gramps recipe out but it’s very simple and not made from the finest of ingredients. Think simple old people from the depression recipe.
Thank you very much! Very appreciated!

Time ago the recipes were simple made with few ingredients but were really delicious ๐
They are the best just take so much longer!
Very true!
Entertaining post.
Thank you! I’m glad you like it ๐
Happy Panda here suggested also a wonderful recipe ๐
I will give it a try ๐
Hello Ribana, That must taste good. Here’s something I use for apple pies: Butter Pie Crust Recipe
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tbsp. cold unsalted butter (I used Magnolia Unsalted) cut into pieces
1/2 cup ice water
Combine flour and salt in medium bowl, cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle water, 1 tbsp at a time over flour mixture, tossing lightly with a fork until mixture forms an even dough.
Divide dough in half, flatten and shape into disks and wrap each in plastic, refrigerate for an hour.
Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface into circle, about 12 to 14 inches round. Carefully fold in quarters, lift gently and unfold into a 9-inch pie pan.
Gently press pastry against bottom and sides of pan, trim overhang to 1/2 inch, then fold the edge under. Pinch edges to flute.
Hi Arlene, oh wow, thank you very much for the recipe! Very appreciated! It sounds easy but I’m sure is not ๐คช
I will give a try to the pie crust…now is a challenge for me ๐คช
Let’s see the results ๐คช if will be edible ๐คช
I’ve never done it. And no matter what baking, I always find it problematic to switch from cups to grams. I love pecan as it is too so if I can’t make a pie no problem. I’ll take it as it is ๐ Sorry, I’m no help haha
I thought Iโm the only one having problems with switching from cups to grams ๐คช it is really difficult because for example a cup of sugar has different grams than a cup of flour ๐คจ๐ง oh well…I need an automatic converter ๐คช but even so Iโll not trust it completely ๐คช
I do like pecans as they are too…but Happy Panda send me a recipe that seems simple ๐ Iโll try my luck with it and see what I can do ๐๐คฃ
Excited for you! Pecans are expensive so 100g almost physically hurts me. ๐
Hmmm…this I did not check๐ค Before buying the other ingredients Iโll check the pecans ๐คช maybe in the end is cheaper buying the whole pie ๐
Hahaha that’s because you’re a food enthusiasts ๐
Hahaha ๐คฃ and I like to eat maybe I like it too much ๐คฃ๐คช
I think a lot people like to eat, ๐ but there are less of those who enjoy cooking as much as you.
Thank you dear Jess! I do enjoy cooking ๐งโ๐ณ it relaxes me โบ๏ธ is my way of meditation, emptying my brain โบ๏ธ๐คช
That’s why it shows in your every food photo… so good I can almost taste them ๐
I still have to find what is for me… I guess reading ๐ yeah reading is what relax me the most ๐
Thank you very much dear Jess….it makes me glad you think my photos are so enjoyable….I always feel I don’t make enough justice to the food with my photos…๐คช as I don’t know how to make them super appealing but also to eat them immediately ๐คช It’s always a struggle ๐คช I should learn to take better pictures but for now I’m concentrating more on cooking ๐คช
Reading is my second thing that relaxes me….I can get lost in the books for hours and days without even realising I’m hungry….๐คช
Better yet if I’m reading outside, surrounded by nature ๐
Same. I get lost when reading or writing.
We’re flip here too. Because cooking is second for me ๐
I’m not sure if you give food justice compare to the real thing but those photos are great, so much it makes one hungry just by looking ๐
Cooking and reading, reading and cooking ๐๐ Flipped but still the same ๐คช
Thank you dear Jess! If I make you hungry just looking at the photos then means that my efforts are well worth it ๐
You might have to persuade a good baker to tell some secrets and how to go about making it!
Hahaha…I guess for a good result thatโs the secret ๐คช
Iโll try the recipe suggested by Happy Panda and hopefully the result will be something edible ๐คช๐
I’ve never had pecan pie! And now I like to try one. Thanks for sharing and have a good day. I hope all is well ๐ Aiva
Happy Panda suggested here in the comments one recipe step by step just for my home-baker level ๐คช
Iโll give it a try and see what I can do ๐
Have a wonderful day too! ๐ธ
