  • Add the flour, sour cream, butter, sugar, and salt to a mixer. Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed using the paddle attachment until the dough is integrated; it is important not to overmix to keep your crust crispy. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the filling: Beat the eggs, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger in a bowl using a whisk. Beat for 5 minutes or until the mixture is frothy. Then add the vanilla extract and corn syrup in a steady stream and continue beating until fully incorporated. Add the walnuts and mix. Set aside.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm and cut to the size of the pie dish, cover, and remove the excess dough, pressing to compact the base well. Set aside.
  • Pour the pecan pie filling over the crust and decorate with walnuts, starting from the inside out, until the pie is filled. Bake at 180 °C for 45 minutes. Let cool and unmold.
  • Serve the classic pecan pie on a plate, cut a slice, and enjoy.
