Marie's Pecan Pie

Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/4 cup of light brown sugar
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup light corn syrup
2 tbsp melted butter
1-3/4 cups pecans, coarsely chopped 
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tbsp molasses (optional)
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (see basic pie crust recipe)

Directions:

Beat eggs until well blended. Add sugar and beat again. Add syrup, molasses, butter, salt and vanilla. Stir in pecans. Pour into crust. Brush the edges of the pie crust with an egg wash.

Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Cook for 10 minutes; then reduce temperature to 325 for 30-40 minutes to prevent the crust from excessive browning or cover crust edge with 2-3 inch wide strips of aluminum foil. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of bake time.

Pie is done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Make sure the pie cools completely before you cut it.
