3 eggs, lightly beaten (fork or whisk)
3/4 c. light corn syrup (dark optional)
3 tbsp. melted butter
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. pecan halves
2 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Combine eggs and corn syrup; mix well. Add sugar and mix thoroughly. Stir in salt and vanilla. Let stand about 5 minutes. Meanwhile spread pecans evenly over bottom of pie shell. Stir melted butter into syrup mixture; pour over pecans. Be sure all pecans rise to top. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until center is firm. This makes a big pie so might not want to use one of the shallow pie shells. The deeper one works better.
