Pecan Pie

Apple pie may have become an American icon, but sticky-sweet pecan pie is the one everyone takes to family gatherings, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. The poly-talented Mr Ford, a Texan who has triumphed in Paris, Milan and Hollywood, has chosen this simple, singular dish.

1 cup of white Karo syrup


1/2 cup brown sugar


2 eggs


1 tsp vanilla


1 tbs flour


1 cup pecans

Beat the eggs and sugar together, add flour, then syrup, vanilla and pecans.

Pour into a 9in prepared pie shell.

Bake in an oven at 150°C for one hour.
