This is a classic in America and Canada ! A pecan pie with walnuts and pecans ! Originally, it’s made with pecans, but as I had some walnuts, I decided to add some as well and I love the result ! Traditionally, this pie is served at Thanksgiving, but who said we needed to wait until Thanksgiving to make one ! 🙂 Easy to make, with a homemade shortcrust pastry and a melt-in-your-mouth golden filling. Some of you might like to add a tablespoon of whisky in the mixture ! Don’t worry if the pie puffs up while baking, it will deflate when cooling down and look gorgeous. Enjoy ! If you want to have a look at another typical American pie recipe, have a look at my apple pie here.
First of all, make your own pastry, see in the video how easy it is to make. It will make a difference ! Then, don’t hesitate to add nice flavors to your mixture such as vanilla extract, or a tablespoon of whisky or rum for example. This will give your pie a unique taste (remember that alcohol evaporates when you cook it but the flavor remains). Finally, to prevent the edges of your pie from browning, you can cover it with aluminium foil (make sure it doesn’t stick to your pie) and lower the temperature to 160°C (325 F). The pie will puff up while baking, don’t panic, it will deflate later. It’s really important that you let it cool down before serving. That way, it will be easier to cut.
