Pecan Pie

Description
The pecan nut originally comes from North America, but is now available almost everywhere. Fortunately! Because this pie is an absolute hit. The pleasantly mild flavour of the pecan, combined with the caramel sweetness of the syrup and the toasty nuances of the shortcrust pastry is simply delicious. It's best to bake it once and if, against all expectations, a piece is left over, don't worry: it will keep for a few days!
