“I have made dozens of pecan pies in my lifetime because it is my husband's favorite. There are NO high-altitude adjustments in the instructions and I live at 6000ft just west of Denver. Several things didn't work: First of all, 215g of dark brown sugar weighed” — a cook, 3.0★
“Ali- the crust technique is marvelous and i will likely never even try another pie crust recipe and it does have very little waste in a 10 inch pie pan. so thank you. the bourbon filling is also scrumptious and i will make that one again and again as well. ” — a cook, 5.0★
