Notes for Pecan Pie

• I use a 10 inch pyrex pie plate
• I use Log Cabin syrup
• Put butter in a large enough bowl to hold all the other ingredients
• Put butter out an hour or two before. It should be real soft or it will be hard to blend smoothly
• Of course you know the hand rotary beater is an egg beater
• In my oven things burn at 375 so I cook it in a preheated oven at 350 for 50 minutes
