Bourbon Pecan Pie

Ingredients:
1/3 c. finely chopped pecans
2 Tbs. flour
1 Pillsbury pie crust
3 eggs
3/4 c. brown sugar
3 Tbs. flour
1 c. dark corn syrup
2 Tbs. butter
2 Tbs. bourbon (I used Jack Daniels)
1 1/2 c. pecan halves

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Mix 1/3 c. chopped pecans and 2 Tbs. butter. Pour onto the bottom of a 9 inch glass pie plate. Place the crust over the nuts. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in 3/4 c. brown sugar, 3 Tbs. flour, corn syrup, butter and bourbon. Stir in pecan halves and pour into crust (I like to do an outer layer of pecans that are neatly placed for a pretty effect). Bake for 15 minutes. Cover the top of the crust with foil and bake for 40-45 minutes more. Cool completely, about 2 1/2 hours.
