Ingredients

1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
3 large eggs, room temperature
1½ cups light brown sugar
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1½ tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1½ cups chopped pecans
½ cup pecan halves (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (175℃).
Unroll pie crust if using store-bought. Place it on the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edge, leaving a ½-inch overhang. Fold the crust's overhang under and crimp it decoratively.
Chill until firm (30 minutes in the fridge or 10 minutes in the freezer). Proceed with the filling.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, and salt until blended. Add flour and continue whisking until thoroughly combined.
Arrange the pecans along the bottom of the pie pan and pour the filling evenly over the pecans. Add pecans decoratively if desired.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and cool completely before serving (about an hour).
Serve no-syrup pecan pie warm or at room temperature, and top it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Cover the pie crust's edge with foil to protect it from burning. A pie crust shield or simply folding a piece of foil around the edges will work.
Room-temperature ingredients, especially the eggs, make this pie easier.
Avoid overbaking so your pie doesn't get hard and crack. Check on it more often as it gets closer to done time.
When checking doneness, one test that has never failed is the jiggle test. Gently shake the pie pan; if the center jiggles slightly, you're good to go. If it ripples instead of jiggles, give it a few more minutes.
