💡 Cook's Notes
For two full pies, use 5 eggs, 2 cups brown sugar, 2 cups corn syrup, 2 cups pecans, and double the seasonings. Some recipes call for dark corn syrup and white sugar instead of the brown sugar and regular corn syrup. Some recipes call for cooking at 350°F for 25 to 40 minutes. Either alternative should work fine. Recommended corn syrup brand: KARO.
