Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren is not in the EDA industry, but I thought you might be interested in her Pecan Pie recipe that won 1st Place at a July 4th Bake-Off.

Crust:
1 cup of flour
pinch of salt
(mix salt in with flour)
generous 1/3 cup of Crisco
(mix until crumbly)
(Avoid over mixing after adding water.
It will make the crust tough.)

Filling:
3 eggs
1/2 cup of sugar
1/3 cup of butter (or a little more than half a stick)
1 cup of dark Karo Syrup
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
pinch of salt
1 and 1/4 cup of pecan pieces

First beat eggs well, then add the rest of the ingredients except for the pecans.

Beat mixture well and pour into 8-inch pie pan. Add pecans to the mixture in the pan and stir, being careful not to puncture pie crust.

Place pie in 350-degree oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until done.

Always good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
