Directions:
Directions:
In a small sauce pot, over medium heat while stirring constantly, brown butter slowly until the color of a copper penny. (Watch closely as it will burn easily!) Remove from heat. In a separate bowl combine sugar, flour, salt and eggs. Mix well. Add syrup, vanilla and browned butter while stirring constantly. (Do not add browned butter all at once or it will curdle.)

Continue mixing until all butter is incorporated into mixture. Place pecans on bottom of one unbaked pie crust. Pour liquid custard mixture over pecans and allow nuts to rise to the top. Bake at 425º for 10 minutes. Lower heat to 325º and continue baking until "almost" set in center of pie, approximately an hour. Do not overbake.

Personal Notes:
The "secret" ingredient in this pie is the browned butter! It may require a little practice over time to master the art of getting the butter just the right shade of brown, but you will discover it is well worth the extra effort. This pie has won many shows for many years, and everyone always asked, "What is the secret ingredient?" Now you know!
