"My nieces and I made this for the first time today, and I have to say, this is a great pecan pie! The filling was caramely, sweet and pecan crunchy delicious. The homemade crust was really good. The only changes we made were to form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour prior to rolling out. And to cover the edges of the pie to protect the crust as it baked. The pie was a hit and better than anything you can buy in the stores." - sgrishka

    I followed the recipe to a T apart from reducing a little bit of the sugar but mine rose up like a quiche, I'm guessing due to the eggs... What did I do wrong??

    This recipe is excellent ... My pecan pie turned out beautiful... I reduced the baking time by 20 minutes otherwise it would have burnt.

    The original recipe had both syrups but I ended up liking it better with dark syrup only. I'll make sure to update my instructions!

    In step 4 you say mix together light and dark syrup. In the ingredients you don't list a light syrup... So how much do we use?
