    In a medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, corn syrup, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

  4. Stir in the pecan halves

A little kitchen wisdom

Toast the pecans in a dry pan for 3-5 minutes before adding to the filling to enhance their nutty flavor. Always allow the pie to cool completely for at least 2 hours to ensure the filling sets perfectly.
