The Easiest Pecan Pie Ever (2 Ways)

You know there is a cake in this entire world that I consider one of the best inventions of all time. That's it, but we're not going to stop there. I have something special that we are going to do. that too, let's go to our trip, okay, today we were making one of my all-time favorite cakes during my childhood. This was the story of the cake. I was al

ways

a picky eater as a child, even when it came to cake, I n

ever

liked it. Lemon Pies I n

ever

liked chocolate pies, obviously that has changed now, but

pecan

pie is still at the forefront as my favorite pie.

Now we're going to do three things here. I'm going to show you how to make an amazing pie crust pretty easily obviously

pecan

pie and then third I'm going to show you what to do with leftover pecan pie anyway with all that said let's do this okay real quick , I have to stop you, we are in Los Angeles right now, we came to see. By the way, a couple of friends have tried us several times since this is a cake video. I just want to let everyone know that I also made a cake video with Kodiko that will be posted on her channel.

The link will be in the description. Friday, so keep your eyes peeled, so we'll start making our masterpiece with a cake base. I'm not a fan of crustless pie right, they make dad mad anyway, this is ultra easy and only needs five ingredients, start by mixing. two and a quarter cups or 337 grams of all-purpose flour with one and a quarter teaspoon or eight grams of fine sea salt and 1 tablespoon or 15 grams of granulated sugar gives you some good whiskey and place that mixture in a food processor. Add 1 cup or 225 grams of very cold unsalted butter, which, by the way, has been cut into evenly sized cubes.

Uniform sized butter means uniform sized aeration in the final product. Pulse that four to eight times, damn it, or until you get some. pea-sized balls dispersed evenly in the flour and if you don't have a food processor, don't worry, a pastry blender or two forks work well and from there, using one fork makes half a cup or 120 milliliters of ice water, obviously. I strained the ice, I found no cube particles in there, as soon as a shaggy dough forms, pour it onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for a few seconds until you get a dough that holds together well.

This way, don't knead too much or the butter will melt and that's bad, then wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes, then lightly dust a work surface with flour, take out the dough and use a rolling pin to knead. your dough is nice and wide or until it is a little over a quarter inch thick, so it should be nice and wide and you will probably need to dust it a few times as you make it, once you have the right size, gently fold the dough in half and then in half again to get this triangular piece.

Center the tip of the dough triangle in the center of a lightly greased 9x2 cake pan. Deploy and deploy again. It's a little cake batter transfer trick. I don't know, it just works. Well, then press the pie dough into the pie pan, filling every little crevice letting the overhanging dough do its job because you know too much pi is like life, it's not worth focusing on the things that don't do what you want, instead focus on what you can and need to focus on at that moment, in this case you will press the dough into the mold evenly, then you will tackle the overhang by trimming it around the perimeter and finally, with your fingers, you will press and pinch a little. crimp along the entire edge to make the beautifully rippled pie crust look like life, but more buttery from here on out, you'll cover your pie with plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator while you prepare the pie filling.

You can also let it sit overnight now in a medium bowl crack three whole medium eggs, beat those eggs prematurely and then add a quarter cup or 75 grams of maple syrup one cup or 300 grams of light corn syrup three quarters of a teaspoon or two grams of fine sea salt three quarters of a cup or 190 grams of dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon or 13 grams of vanilla extract and finally beat and pour in a quarter of a cup or 56 grams of melted unsalted butter that is melted, not boiling, barely melted, then just whisk all of that together until well combined separately You are going to chop two and a half cups or 287 grams of raw nuts, you will roast them in the oven, so raw is the best option here and don't chop them too much, they should look like this, it's not a rough cut.

A kiss of mincemeat from dad, now take the cold pie dough, spread the chopped pecans evenly on the bottom, then pour all the filling to fill that brother and then gently put it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius . for 40 to 50 minutes or until the cake is set and the top is slightly domed. Optionally, halfway through baking, you can brush it with buttermilk for more golden edges and cover it with foil if it starts to get too dark, then just take the cake out and let it cool completely to room temperature. I found that it is most enjoyable to serve at room temperature or completely cold.

Then all you have to do is cut the cake. I prefer to take mine out of the cake pan for easier cutting. Slice the size you choose. Place it on the plate, add a good quinel of whipped cream, sprinkle it lightly with ground cinnamon for a culinary touch and go on a cake journey that you won't forget Now that we made our cake, but what do we do with the leftover cake? the simple answer is good, you can eat it, but if you want to be a little more creative use my mcflurry custard base, put it in an ideally working ice cream maker, start churning it and as soon as the ice cream reaches about 85 of the Once done, take a couple of slices of leftover pie, remove the crust and set it aside, then finally cut just the pie portion, add that finely chopped pie to the churned ice cream base, mash up the pie crust that you reserved so soon as your ice cream is ready, place it in a piping bag and place it in a nice glass or bowl, make it very tall, sprinkle it over the crushed cake batter and enjoy a beautiful cup of pecan pie, serve soft, yes, this one and this pecan pie in two. shapes, I mean, it's a classic, an instant classic, fireworks, the Christmas tree is up, mom and dad are kissing by the fireplace and it's really awkward, this is a pecan pie, oh my god, it's got all of them. the classic flavors you want but elevated and it has that slight maple syrup flavor, the crust is flaky, salty and buttery, I don't know what else to tell you, then this is a perfect pot, this is the real thing we are going to talk about, pecan pie, bourbon ice cream. we have some crumbled cake batter on top, this is basically the mcflurry, i mean i'm not going to take another bite because i need tg to come taste this big crimson, what about me jesus christ?

That's too big, immediately I tried the bourbon, yeah, that's good, wait, don't take another bite, now it's the vicar's, it's a funny spoon that did something with that we made something that I could drink that we did something with something, The funny thing is that it's such a low-effort way to deal with leftovers with this you just crush them and put them in ice cream, don't you understand, okay, we're not just putting pecan pie in the ice cream, we're elevating the ice cream to a place you've been before, but if you've done it. I haven't experienced it, it really changes your life, this is the perfect pie, a nutty one.

Two

ways

, you want to know what else is chewy, sweet and full of nuts, okay guys and that's it, so we made our delicious pecan pie, it had a beautiful crust. nice and flaky, bright, crunchy, crunchy, salty, buttery, rich and yet light at the same time and obviously the filling was nutty, it's actually not as sweet as you expect, yes it is sweet but there is a certain necessity in that which counteracts the bitterness of the nut. and the fatness of it all cuts through the wealth and also elevates it at the same time. This is the perfect cake.

I have said it before. I'll say it again and I hope the ending was of some help in showing you what. you can make it with leftover cake which also applies to many other cakes, give or take, some ingredients, but anyway, all that being said, if you enjoyed this video or learned something, leave a like, subscribe and I'll see you next time time.
