My Granny's Pecan Pie Filling

I found my grandmother's pie recipe, handwritten, in a drawer in her kitchen after she passed away.  I have it still, though the paper has come into pieces, it is a treasure.

Beat:
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup Karo syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla

Add 1 cup pecans

Pour into unbaked pie shell

Bake 350 degrees until center of pie tests done.


Pecan pie is absolutely the easiest pie to make in my opinion. And maybe the yummiest !  (well....except of course for chocolate !! )
