Directions:
For pie crust:
Sift flour and stir in salt. Cut in shortening with fork or pastry-blender until the size of small peas. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon water, mix lightly; repeat until all is moistened. Gather up with fingers; form into a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1/2 hr.
On lightly floured surface, flatten ball slightly and roll 1/8 inch thick.
To transfer pastry, roll it over rolling pin or, carefully pick it up and transfer loosely to pie plate. Trim 1/2 to 1 inch beyond edge (I use scissors). Fold under and flute.

Preheat oven to 350º F
Beat eggs thoroughly with sugar, dash of salt, corn syrup and melted butter. Add pecans. Pour into unbaked pastry shell.
Bake for 50 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between outside and center of filling comes out clean. Cool.
