My husband is a wonderful father to our three young adults. At any time of the year, he enjoys eating pecan pie topped with vanilla ice cream. Once you make it from scratch, you may never buy another pecan pie. If gluten poses no issues for you, use any flour of your choice.

Step 9

pouring glaze mixture over the pecans in the pie crust

Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place the pie filled with pecans on a cookie sheet. Ask for help.

If you see bits of cooked egg, you can pour mixture into a strainer.

Use a rubber spatula to get all the mixture out of the pan.

Step 10

Stir mixture in strainer until it no longer strains

Step 11

Pie shell is full. If some of the egg cooked take it to the sink to throw away. Unfortunately, there is too much sugar to give the eggs to a pet. The strainer easily cleans in a dishwasher or a sink full of hot water.
