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.
