Pecan and Pumpkin Seed Pie | Celia's Saucer

A recipe for an autumnal pie
Adapted from recipe: BBC Good Food

Ingredients
110g/4oz unsalted butter
110g/4oz golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
225g/8oz brown sugar
3 free-range eggs, beaten
1 x 245g/8½oz shop-bought shortcrust pastry case
285g/10oz pecan nuts, halved (I used 150g pecans, 115g toasted pumpkin seeds)

Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Place the butter, golden syrup, vanilla extract and sugar into a heavy-based saucepan over a low heat.
When the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir well.
Set aside a small handful of the pecan nuts. Arrange the remaining pecan halves evenly in the pastry case and carefully pour over the syrup mixture.
Place into the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes - the pie will be golden-brown, but the filling should still be slightly soft.
Leave the pie to cool on a wire tray. As the pie begins to set, decorate the top with the reserved pecan halves. Serve in slices.
