Easy
  • Combine flour, sour cream, butter, sugar, and salt in a mixer. Using the flat beater attachment, mix for 3 minutes at medium speed to a homogenous dough. Do not mix too much for a crispy dough. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the filling: In a bowl, mix eggs, raw sugar, cinnamon powder, and ginger powder with a balloon whisker. Mix for 5 minutes or until the mixture is fluffy. Add vanilla essence and corn syrup in an even stream. Keep mixing until perfectly incorporated. Add pecans and mix. Set aside.
  • On a floured table, roll out the dough until it is 0.1 inches thick. Cut to the size of the tart pan. Cover the pan. Cut off the excess and press to flatten the surface. Set aside.
  • Pour the filling into the pan. Garnish the whole pie with pecans from the center out. Bake for 45 minutes at 356 °F. Cool and unmold.
  • Serve classic pecan pie on a plate. Cut it into slices.
