Pie!!! (with Sarah)

Crust:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup shortening

Combine salt, flour and shortening with a pastry cutter 'till it's all in little pea-sized bits. Add 4-5 tablespoons icy cold water. Stir together with fork. Roll out crust, or just press into a 9" pie pan. Or tiny tart pans. Or whatever you've got lying around. Evenly distribute pecans over bottom of pie crust.

Filling:

1 cup light brown sugar

2/3 cup Golden Syrup

2 tablespoons rum

4 tablespoons butter

3 large eggs

1/4 cup cream

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups Texan pecans, toasted

In a medium saucepan, heat the brown sugar, Golden Syrup, rum, and butter until boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool until tepid. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. When the boiled syrup has cooled, beat in the eggs, salt, and cream. Pour over pecans. Bake at 350 for 45ish minutes.
