Directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the all purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients.
- With the mixer on begin to add the frozen cubed vegetable shortening and butter. It should resemble little pellets of flour.
- Whisk together the ice cold water, egg yolk, and cider vinegar. Using a fork begin to mix the dry ingredients. Drizzle in small amounts of the liquid mixture and continue to mix. You will end up with a loose dough. Gather up the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- On a flour dusted surface roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Place the dough within your pie tin allowing it to hang over the edge by 1 inch. Cut off the excess. Flute the edges.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, sugar, salt, dark corn syrup, light corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Sprinkle the pecans over the pie dough.
- Fill pie dough with egg mixture.
- Place the pie in the oven on a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
Notes
If the crust gets too dark too fast lower heat to 300 degrees after 10 minutes.
