Instructions
-
Roll out the batch of piecrust on a marble slab or cold work surface. Arrange the crust in the pie pan. Set the pan and dough aside in the refrigerator.
- Splice the vanilla bean pod vertically down the middle. Open up the pod and with the dull side of a pairing knife, scrape out the beans. Mix the beans into the sugar to separate the clump of beans forming vanilla-sugar. Combine the butter, vanilla-sugar, corn syrup, molasses, eggs and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Whisk the mixture until combined.
- Stir the pecans into the mixture and pour the filling into the pie pan. Brush the crust edges with egg wash and bake.
- Remove the pie for the oven place on a wire rack. Allow the pie to cool at least 20 minutes and serve.
