Grandma's Great Desserts Cookbook

This pie was always a favorite for birthdays while my children were grouping up. They never liked the typical party cakes. My mother gave me the old-fashioned recipe for lard crust...it turns out every time!

TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 50 min.

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
