“I made this pie for Christmas for a pecan-pie lover, and she said it was the best she has ever had! I think the browned butter and golden syrup were the biggest enhancements to standard pecan pie, but the whiskey and my other modifications all combined to rais” — a cook, 5.0★
“I have made this pie three or four times now. I actually entered this pie into the Fairfield County county fair in Lancaster, Ohio, and won a blue ribbon! I was so proud to win that ribbon. But obviously, it’s an excellent recipe and the directions are so help” — a cook, 5.0★
