This is a Betty Croker Recipe. We take this to Holiday events and it's always a crowd pleaser. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup shortening |
1 tablespoon shortening |
3 tablespoons cold water |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup butter, melted |
1 cup corn syrup |
2 tablespoons bourbon or 2 tablespoons rum, if desired |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 eggs |
1 cup pecans, halves |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender or crisscrossing knives, until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
3. Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Roll pastry, using floured rolling pin, into circle 2 inches larger than upside-down pie plate, 9x1 1/4 inches. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired.
4. In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, corn syrup, bourbon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the eggs with hand beater. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips. Pour into pastry-lined pie plate. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excess browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
5. Bake pie 40 to 50 minutes or until set. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 2 hours until chilled.
