Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • ½ cup salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup pecans, finely chopped 

Instructions
 

  • Combine the Ingredients:
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, softened butter, and finely chopped pecans.
  • Mix with Care:
    Use your hands to work the ingredients together. Gently mix, incorporating the flour into the butter until you achieve a fine crumb texture. The warmth of your hands will help the butter meld with the dry ingredients, creating a cohesive mixture.
  • Press into a Pie Plate:
    Take your prepared Pecan Pie Crust mixture and press it into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch pie plate. Ensure an even crust distribution provides a stable base for your pie. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Pre-Bake Your Crust:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie plate with the Pecan Pie Crust in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned. This step helps set the crust and adds a delightful toasted pecan flavor to your pies.
