- January 04, 2014, 02:05:51 PMI used my mom's recipe and then coated the crushed pretzels like the mock recipe called for. It was ok, I don't think I'll make it again, but it was worth trying. DS said it was ok, not sure if he'd ever ask for it to be made.

- December 31, 2013, 10:35:13 PMI made it but I used the karo syrup recipe for the filling using light corn syrup and brown sugar. I did not mix in the pretzels and should have. They floated on the top of the pie and didn't sink down at all. DH and I did like it though, even though my pa/tna decided it "wasn't her favorite but at least we tried it" as if I'll never make it again just because she didn't like it.

I'm going to try Hezzier's mom's recipe (but with light corn syrup-I don't have dark and don't want to buy it just for this) and sub in pretzels. I don't have a deep pie pan.

- December 29, 2013, 12:26:47 PMWondering if I should just do my mom's recipe and sub in pretzels
So here's my mother's pecan pie recipe...it was really good
1 C brown sugar
1 C dark karo syrup
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 TBS flour
1 TBS milk
1 C chopped pecans (would sub crushed pretzels)
unbaked store bought pie crust
Mix ingredients by hand, put into unbaked pie crust. Bake at 450 for 5 min, then 350 for 40 min, cover crust after 15-20 mins to prevent burning.

I should look up the recipe for my mom's pecan pie and see how it differs from this one.

egg allergy around here.
Do you think that this would/could work with flax gel/cornstarch/tapioca flour?
Man, would I ever LOVE to try this.
