Flakey Pie Pastry Dough for Single Crust* (Recipe found in my blog.)
Press into 9-inch pie plate and flute edge by pinching pastry between thumb and forefinger to crimp. **Brush with Egg Wash. Freeze 10 minutes before adding pie mixture, to prevent the crimped edges from shrinking during baking.
1 package (8 ounces) pecan halves } (about 1 1⁄2 cups)
Fill with pie mixture.
OR Top filling mixture by placing pecans in circular pattern with round side facing up.
Bake, 50 to 55 minutes or until done. Cover pie loosely with aluminum foil if pie crust gets too brown during baking. Let cool. Refrigerate until serving if serving next day. Serve, if desired, with fresh whipped cream or favorite whipped topping.
TIPS:
*Can substitute Flakey Pie Pastry Dough for Single Crust recipe with store-bought prepared refrigerated pie crust.
**EGG WASH: Mix 1 egg yolk with 1 teaspoon water. Brush on pastry dough edges after filling before baking for golden glow.
