Trisha's Pecan Pie

Trisha's Pecan Pie

1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 9-inch deep dish pie shell, thawed (or homemade pastry)
1 cup pecan halves

Preheat oven to 325^F.

In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar and eggs until creamy.  Add the chopped pecans, melted butter, milk, flour and vanilla and stir to combine.  Pour into the pie shell.  Arrange the pecan halves on top of the pie in a circular pattern.

Bake the pie for 55 minutes.  Check for doneness by shaking the pan slightly.  The pie should be firm with only a slight jiggle in the center.  It will set more as it cools. 

Serve topped with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

I saw this recipe on the Thanksgiving section of foodnetwork.com and since I've always been a Trisha Yearwood fan, I could not resist trying it!  This pie is fabulous!
