Yield: 8 Servings
| Measure | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 \N | Eggs (slightly beaten) |
| ⅓ \N | Stick margarine; melted |
| 1½ cup | Sugar |
| ¾ cup | Pecans |
| 1 teaspoon | Lemon extract |
| 1 tablespoon | Lemon juice |
Mix ingredients in order given . Do not use mixer or beat until frothy.
Pour into 8" unbaked pie shell. Put in 350 degree oven, bake 10 minutes; then cook at 300 degrees till crust is brown (30 to 45 minutes), and pie filling is set. Too rapid cooking causes pecans to scorch and crust to brown before center is cooked.
For Orange Pecan Pie - substitute ½ fresh orange, juiced, and 1 t. orange extract.
