INSTRUCTIONS
For the crust, combine dry ingredients in bowl of food processor and pulse several times to mix. Add butter and pulse to a fine powder. Add egg and pulse until dough forms a ball that rotates on blade. Press dough into a disk, wrap and chill. For filling, combine corn syrup and sugar in saucepan and stir to mix. Place over low heat and bring to a boil, without stirring. Remove from heat, add butter and allow to melt. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs to break up and whisk in salt and Bourbon. Whisk in syrup and butter mixture, being careful not to over mix. Allow to rest while rolling dough. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the lower third. On a floured surface, roll the dough and line a 9-inch Pyrex pie pan, fluting the rim of the crust. Arrange pecans in an even layer in pie shell. Carefully skim top of filling and pour over pecans. With the back of fork, press pecans into filling so that all have been immersed in it. Bake for about 45 minutes, until crust is baked through and filling is firm in center. Cool on a rack. Store pie at a cool room temperature or refrigerate. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before serving.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
