Country Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter or margarine
4 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp salt
1 unbaked pie shell (9 inch)
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350. Place butter in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 30 seconds or until melted. Cool slightly.

2. Beat eggs in a bowl until just blended. Stir in butter, sugar, corn syrup and salt. Pour egg mixure into pie shell.

3. Place pecan halves in a circular pattern over filing. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cover crust with foil toward the end of baking to prevent overbrowning.

4. Cool pie slightly. Beat whipping cream in a chilled mixing bowl until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Top each serving of pie with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
