Ingredients

Crust


  • 11⁄4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus more for rolling
  • 
1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1⁄4 tsp salt

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold, grated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable shortening, cold
  • 1⁄4 cup ice water

Filling

  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup golden corn syrup
  • 3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp bourbon

  • 11⁄2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

  • 2 cups pecan halves

Sundae

  • 1 L vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup whipping (35%) cream, whipped

Directions

Yield: Serves 8

  1. To make crust, combine all ingredients except water in a bowl. Mix with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces of butter. Gradually stir in water with fork. When mixture starts clumping, form dough with hands. Roll into a ball and flatten into a disk. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
  2. On floured surface, roll dough into 13″-diam. circle. Press into 9″ pie plate, trim excess and crimp edges. Cover and chill 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. To make filling, combine all ingredients except pecans in a large bowl. Whisk for 1 minute. Stir in pecans. Pour into pie shell. Place on baking tray. Bake on lower shelf until filling is set, about 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool.
  4. To make sundaes, cut pie into 8 equal slices. Cut each slice in half widthwise. Place the crust end pieces in 8 bowls. Top with a large scoop of ice cream. Top with remaining pie pieces and a blob of whipped cream.
