Ingredients:  
1 cup sugar
1½ cups corn syrup (I use 1/2 dark and 1/2 light)
4 eggs
1⁄4 cup butter
1½ tsp vanilla
1½ cups pecans, coarsely broken
1 unbaked deep dish pie shell
Directions:
Directions:
In saucepan boil sugar and corn syrup together for 2 to 3 minutes; set aside to cool slightly.
In large bowl beat eggs lightly and very slowly pour the syrup mixture into the eggs, stirring constantly.
At this point I like to strain the mixture to make sure it's smooth and lump free.
Stir in butter (it will melt when stirred into warm mixture), vanilla, and pecans and pour into crust.
I always use crust cover to keep crust from burning the rim crust and remove it the last 30 minutes of baking. Bake in a 350°F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes or until set.
