Directions:Allow the butter to stand in a covered medium mixing bowl at room temperature until it is extremely soft. Add sugar, corn syrup, salt and vanilla; with a sturdy hand rotary beater or mixing spoon, beat until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and beat gently just until blended. Fold in the pecans. Pour into pastry shell. Bake in a moederate (375 degrees) oven on the rack directly below the center rack until top is toasted brown and filling is set in center when pie is gently shaken -- about 40 to 50 minutes. |

Notes: This was the Lady Bird Johnson's (President Lyndon Baines Johnson's wife) favorite dessert recipe. Mother cut this recipe out of the Temple Telegram paper. No date was on this recipe but it was while the Johnsons were in the White House. Mother has dozens and dozens of recipes that she collected from newspapers and magazines. I will not type all of them unless I recognize it as something she used to cook.
