I know everyone always talks about Southern Pecan Pie, but if you havn’t had a piece of Texas Pecan Pie, then you have missed out.
This recipe is one my mom copied out of a newspaper in 1938. The article was talking about all the fabulous pecan trees in Texas and how this was voted the Best Pecan Pie recipe ever. This pie won Blue Ribbons at several County Fairs, and was later published in dozens of cookbooks.
I wish I had the article, however, all I have is this card where my mom copied off the recipe for me. I love seeing her handwriting as I make some of her favorite things.
This was the dessert we had for Mother’s Day. I love the pie and I love the sweet memories of my mom.
I hope you will try this recipe, I am sure you will love it too.
I know this is delicious and the memories make it sweeter. I have better luck if I use broken pecan pieces. The pie cuts easier and looks prettier – just my opinion. It tastes delicious regardless!
I can’t read the recipe card. Can you type it out? I’d love to make it.
I typed it out on the blog post. Check out Best Pecan Pie Ever again and you can read it.
