Pecan Pie

This is the Pecan Pie recipe that my dad used on his mission. Apparently my Grandma Claridge mailed it to him. I am typing it as it was written, at the bottom of the recipe is the missing butter and a simpler way to bake the pie.

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup Karo syrup, dark (blue bottle)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp or more vanilla
3/4 c pecans coarley broken

Mix all together adding pecans last, pour into 9 inch pie crust bake at 450 degrees for ten minutes, then 350 degrees until a silver knife inserted in the middle of pie comes out clean.

To make right use 1/3 cup melted butter - Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between outside and center of filling comes out clean. Cool before serving.
