How to Make a Homemade Southern Pecan Pie Recipe

When I think back to my childhood, one thing I always remember is the desserts. My mom loved to cook, and the house always smelled like a bakery, especially around the holidays.

To this day my mom still likes to make all of the grandkids a homemade cake for their birthday. I’m a little biased, but I’ve always thought she needed to own herself a bakery.

I can remember vividly how the house smelled of freshly baked bread, and homemade pies. Her homemade pecan pie has always been my favorite.

I was always a little intimidated by this recipe because I thought it would be a lot of work. Not so! I love this pecan pie recipe, and I was so excited the day she handed me the recipe card sharing exactly how she made it.

Now that I have the recipe, it has become one of my favorite pies to make. It’s not nearly as daunting as I thought it was. You can have it made in just under an hour and serve it up soon afterward.

    The smaller “print out” recipe says 1/2 c pecans and the recipe at the top says 1 1/2 c pecans. From looking at the picture of that delicious pie, I am guessing it is 1 1/2….did I guess correctly?
