3 whole eggs
1/3 stick butter, melted
1 1/2 c. white sugar
3/4-1 c. pecan halves or pieces
1 tsp. lemon extract
Juice of 1 lemon

Mix ingredients in order given, but do not use mixer or beat until frothy. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Put in preheated 350 degree oven and bake 10 minutes, then cut oven temperature to about 300 degrees and bake until crust is browned and pie is set. Too rapid cooking causes pecans to scorch and crust to brown before center of pie is done. For variety try using 1/2 orange and 1 teaspoon orange extract instead of lemon juice.
