Louisiana Pecan Pie (as shared by my dear friend, Joyce Ward ~ who lives in Georgia)

1/4 cup butter or margarine melted
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3/4- 1 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 to 1 cup pecans
1 un- baked 9-inch pastry crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter or margarine, cool: set aside. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with sugar and salt until just foamy and well blended. Be careful not to overbeat. Add corn syrup, vanilla and cooled butter or margarine; blend. Stir in pecans. Pour into pastry shell. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until filling is set at edges but is still slightly soft in center. Over baking will curdle the filling. Cool

Recipe Note: Serve with puffs of whipped cream and whole toasted pecans. if desired.

Easiest Pie EVER!!!
