Thanks to Amazon Prime's book preview feature, this is very similar to the pie that was previously mentioned.

For pie dough

10 Tablespoons (1 stick plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter (softened)
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon baking powder

Filling

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch salt
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans


Make pie dough; In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until pale, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg until just combined. In another bowl combine flour cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder and gradually fold into sugar mixture until incorporated. The dough should look rough, not smooth. Press dough into a round flat disk and wrap tightly in plastic. Chill for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Remove dough from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. On a floured work surface roll dough into a 13-inch round. Fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, and trim the overhanging dough to 1/4 inch all around.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

Make filling; In a large bowl whisk together sugar, dark corn syrup, butter, eggs, vanilla and salt.

Place pecans in the pie plate and pour filling over them. Stir pecans and filling. Be careful not to poke crust. Bake pie until edges are firm and center seems set, but quivery when the pan is nudged, about 1 1/2 hours.
