Recipe Of The Day: Pecan Pie

July 12th is National Pecan Pie Day. And the sad part about that is, that millions of people have never had the joy of eating a really great homemade Pecan Pie.
Many people are scared to make their own pie crust at home, whether it is because it is uncommon these days to roll out your own dough or because people just never really learned how too.
The two greatest thing about making your own dough are that for starters you are in control of what ingredients are going into your food and secondly your learning a skill that can be passed on to future generations for years to come.

Too often we get caught up in the ease of using store bought mixes and ready made products. In many cases these products are life savors and great flavor enhancers, but let's face it, when it comes to pie dough, breads and baked pastries, it is really hard to beat a homemade treat that you created with your own two hands.
This recipe uses my great grandmothers pie dough recipe and incorporates a filling that is used at a friend of ours restaurant, known for their Pecan Pie.
Enjoy this recipe and try it out on your loved ones, it will surely be a hit.
