Tender and Flaky Sweet Potato Biscuits
If there ever was a must-bake biscuit recipe, I think I’ve found it. And that’s saying something because biscuits are kind of a thing around here. I love my traditional Skillet Biscuits, which always have a place on my table whether it’s weekend brunch or Thanksgiving dinner.
Adding sweet potato to the mix was an unexpected twist I never knew I needed. I traveled to North Carolina not too long ago and Sweet Potato Biscuits were on the menu at a restaurant we visited. They were so great that I knew I needed to recreate them at home. And now they’ve definitely gone into our regular rotation!
This simple biscuit recipe has a subtle, irresistible sweetness from the sweet potatoes and a hint of sugar. They’re perfect all year long, but in the fall time these will be extra delicious with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice!
Why You’ll Love This Biscuit Recipe
These tender sweet potato biscuits are about to change your life. Here’s why:
Easy. These sweet potato biscuits are the easiest to make with only 5 ingredients. Using self-rising flour means there’s no need for additional leavening.
Versatile. Homemade biscuits make the perfect side dish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Whip up a batch of soft sweet potato biscuits for the holidays, or any time of the year.
Sweet, cozy flavor. Mashed sweet potato brings a unique, cozy flavor and lovely orange color to buttermilk biscuits. These are perfect for fall baking! You could even spice them up with cinnamon or nutmeg, see further on for easy variations.
What You’ll Need
You can count the ingredients for these sweet potato biscuits on one hand! I outline them below. Be sure to scroll to the recipe card below the post for the full ingredients and recipe details.
Flour and Sugar: For this biscuit recipe, I use self-rising flour and regular granulated sugar. Adding a bit of sugar makes these a little sweeter, and boosts the flavor of the sweet potatoes.
Butter: Make sure to use cold, salted butter. Cutting it into cubes will make it easier to mix with the other biscuit ingredients. I also like to brush the tops of freshly baked sweet potato biscuits with a bit of additional melted butter.
Mashed Sweet Potatoes: You’ll need about two medium-sized fresh sweet potatoes, cooked, cooled, and mashed before your start. See below for preparation notes!
Buttermilk: Like your butter, you’ll want your buttermilk cold from the fridge. If you don’t have buttermilk, it’s easy to make your own.
Preparing the Sweet Potatoes
Before you make your biscuits, you’ll need some mashed sweet potatoes. This is easy to do by boiling them on the stove, roasting the sweet potatoes in the oven, or cooking the sweet potatoes in the microwave. These biscuits are also a great way to use up leftover baked sweet potatoes.
My preferred method is baking the sweet potatoes. Simply scrub your sweet potatoes clean and bake them in the oven at 400ºF for 45-55 minutes, until they’re soft.
Whichever way you go about cooking your sweet potatoes, once they’re done, squeeze them out of their jackets and use a fork to mash them. Make sure that you allow the puree to cool completely before making your biscuits.
How to Make Sweet Potato Biscuits
This recipe makes enough dough to comfortably fit 10 biscuits inside a 12-inch cast iron skillet (see my tips below and the recipe card for notes on other sizes). While your oven preheats to 450ºF, grease your skillet, and then get started on the biscuit dough:
Combine the butter and dry ingredients. Whisk the flour and sugar together, then cut in the cold butter cubes. You can do this using two forks, or a pastry blender. You want the mixture to be crumbly with small pieces of butter throughout.
Add the sweet potatoes. Next, stir buttermilk into the mashed sweet potatoes, then combine this with the dough. Do your best to not overwork the biscuit dough. We want all those small pockets of butter to stay intact for tender, flaky biscuits.
Knead. Now, on a floured surface, fold the dough over itself a few times to create the layers. Then, use your hands to press the dough out into a disc (aim for about 1 ½ inches thick).
Shape the biscuits. Finally, cut out the dough using a round biscuit cutter, and arrange the biscuits inside your greased skillet. It’s fine if the biscuits are touching the pan.
Bake. Pop those babies into your preheated oven. Bake the biscuits for 20-25 minutes, until they’re golden, then take them out, brush the tops with melted butter, and serve.
Tips for The Best Biscuits
If you’re wary of making your own biscuits, I’ve got your back. Once upon a time, I was no stranger to the fear of my homemade biscuits turning out like hockey pucks, too! But I promise, with a bit of practice, this recipe, and some helpful tips below, you’re going to nail it.
Keep your ingredients cold. Cold ingredients, like the butter and buttermilk in this recipe, are essential for the best flaky biscuits. This is why it’s also important to cool your mashed sweet potatoes completely before adding them to the dough.
Don’t overwork the dough. It’s worth repeating, but make sure that you don’t handle the dough too much when mixing and kneading. Overworking activates the gluten in the dough, which leads to dense biscuits.
Don’t twist when cutting the biscuit dough. Twisting the biscuit cutter seals the edges of the biscuits, which prevents them from puffing up. Instead, press the cutter firmly into the dough.
Different skillet sizes: You can make these sweet potato biscuits in a 10-inch skillet, though you’ll have 2 biscuits left over. If you’d like, you can bake the extra two in a smaller baking pan at the same time. Alternatively, bake your biscuits in two 8-inch skillets.
Try adding spices. For an even cozier fall or holiday spin on these sweet potato biscuits, why not try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or mixed spice to the dough. The spices play off of the sweet potato perfectly!
Common Questions
What’s the secret to light and flaky biscuits? The first key to flaky biscuits is cold ingredients. Keep your ingredients in the fridge until you’re ready to use them, and if you’re baking in a warm kitchen, refrigerate your biscuits before you bake them. Another rule is to not overwork the dough, as this yields a tough, dense biscuit. Can I use canned sweet potato puree? If you’re pressed for time, yes, it’s fine to make these biscuits with canned sweet potato puree. I recommend passing canned puree through a fine mesh sieve to drain any excess water.
What to With Serve Sweet Potato Biscuits
These sweet potato biscuits make wonderful breakfast biscuits, warmed up and spread with a pat of butter. I like to drizzle mine with maple syrup or honey. Of course, old-fashioned biscuits of any kind are a classic side for Southern cooking! Try these ideas:
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
Store leftover sweet potato biscuits airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat these biscuits in the oven for a few minutes, or in the toaster.
Can I Freeze Sweet Potato Biscuits?
Yes! The baked and cooled biscuits can be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag and kept frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost your biscuits in the fridge or at room temperature before reheating and serving.

Sweet Potato Biscuits
Author: Shelly
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Yield: 10 biscuits 1x
Category: Breads
Method: Oven
Cuisine: American
Description
Real sweet potatoes bring delicious tenderness and flavor to homemade Sweet Potato Biscuits! These flaky biscuits are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
1x2x3x
3 cups self-rising flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup cold salted butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 cups cold cooked and mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F. Coat a 12-inch cast iron skillet with butter (*see tip #1). Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and sugar. Using a pastry blender or two forks, cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is in pea-sized pieces in the mixture. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together mashed sweet potatoes and buttermilk. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The dough shouldn’t be either too sticky or too dry. If it’s too dry add in a splash of buttermilk, or If the dough is very sticky add in a tablespoon more flour (see tip #2). The trick is to not handle the dough too much, as you want the cold butter pieces to remain. This is what will make your biscuits extra flaky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter and knead by folding the dough over on itself 4 – 5 times. This is what creates layers. Press the dough into a 1 1/2- inch disk.
Using a 3-inch round biscuit cutter dusted with flour (see tip #3), cut out biscuits and arrange them in the cast iron skillet (they will touch in the pan, this is fine). Use all the dough.
Bake biscuits for 20 – 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter.
Notes
Tip #1: If you don’t have a 12-inch skillet you can make these in a 10-inch skillet but will have dough left over for 2 biscuits. Or you can use 2 8-inch skillets
Tip #2: Keep all the ingredients cold. This will produce the fluffiest, flakiest biscuits.
Tip #3: Don’t Twist the Biscuit Cutter. Firmly press the cutter down into the dough, but don’t actually twist. Twisting the biscuit cutter seals off the edges of the biscuits and they therefore will not rise as high.

Tips for Cooking with Pumpkin
Some added guidance when turning pumpkin into the best fall treats:
You Can Use Canned or Homemade – Sort Of. Most pumpkin recipes will turn out just as great with fresh pumpkin puree made from scratch as they would with canned pumpkin. However, the flavor and texture of fresh pumpkin can vary, so that’s something to keep in mind when baking. Pumpkin pies, for example, usually come out the best when made with trusty, canned pumpkin.Speaking of Canned Pumpkin… Pumpkin puree in a can isn’t the same as canned pumpkin pie filling. If your recipe calls for canned pumpkin, make sure you’re using the right ingredient!Swapping Pumpkin for Eggs, Oil, or Butter: You can swap 1/4 cup pumpkin puree for one egg in most baking recipes. You can also substitute pumpkin puree tablespoon for tablespoon in place of oil/butter.Bake Thoroughly. Because pumpkin is so moist, it’s important to keep an eye on the baked goods while they’re in the oven, and after they come out. Make sure the centers aren’t still raw/gummy after baking.Pumpkin Puree Substitutes: Run out of pumpkin puree? Or maybe you forgot to add it to your shopping list, or you’re just after something different. Good alternatives to pumpkin are mashed/pureed sweet potatoes, canned yams, or butternut squash. These can be substituted 1:1 for pumpkin puree in most recipes!

1 Make graham cracker pecan crust: Pulse pecans, flour, brown sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a food processor. Add butter and egg yolk. Pulse until mixture is homogenous.
Press into bottom of 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes at 375°F. Remove from oven and let cool.
2 Press the pumpkin purée. Take the pumpkin purée and place it on several layers of paper towels. Cover with several layers of paper towels and use your hands to gently squeeze out liquid from the purée.
Note that you will probably go through a lot of paper towels (can use tea towels too).
3 Measure the pumpkin puree: Two 15-ounce cans of puréed pumpkin should yield a little more than 2 cups of purée with the excess moisture removed. Measure out 2 cups of purée; you want exactly 2 cups.
4 Make the pumpkin base: Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, grated nutmeg, and allspice in a medium bowl. With a wooden spoon (no need for a mixer for this step), mix in the salt, 2 cups of pressed pumpkin purée, vanilla, and bourbon. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
5 Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl (it helps to use a mixer for this step), beat the cream cheese and the brown sugar until fully creamed and smooth (no lumps). Gradually add the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated.
Bring a kettle of water to a boil.
6 Line pan with 3 layers of thick foil: Place the springform pan with the crust in the middle of three layers of large sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil (to help prevent water-bath moisture from leaking into the pan). Fold the aluminum foil up the sides of the pan and trim. (You can also use a turkey roasting bag instead of the foil to keep the water out.)
6 Pour filling into pan: Place the aluminum wrapped pan in a large roasting pan (large enough so that there is room on all sides). Pour the pumpkin cream cheese mixture into the springform pan.
7 Add water to the roasting pan: Place the roasting pan containing the springform pan in a 325°F oven on the middle rack. Pour boiling water into the pan so that it comes halfway up the side of the springform pan.
8 Bake and cool: Bake the cheesecake for 1 1/2 hours at 325°F. Turn off the oven heat and prop the oven door open. Let the cheesecake sit in the oven, cooling for another hour.
Then remove from oven and let come to room temperature. Once it has cooled down, chill for several hours in the refrigerator, preferably overnight.
9 When ready to serve, gently remove the cake from the springform pan: To do this well, I recommend a tip by Dorie Greenspan in her book Baking: From My Home to Yours. To help ensure that the cake doesn’t stick to the springform side as you unlock it, first run a blunt knife around the cake and then warm the sides of the pan with a hair dryer. Then carefully unlock the springform and lift off the sides.
Serve cheesecake with caramel sauce, candied pecans, and whipped cream. LEGGI TUTTO

We all now that Pecan Pie is a classic dessert…but the flavor profile works so well in all sorts of other recipes! Of course, make sure to try my Pecan Pie Recipe if you like to stay classic, but if you want to mix things up, these Pecan Pie Muffins are REALLY FUN!
Pecan Pie Muffins Can Be Dessert, Breakfast, Or A Sweet Side Dish!
Pecan Pie Muffins are going to be your new favorite sweet treat or an unexpected side dish. Think about these at your holiday table paired along side turkey and mashed potatoes or even along side a plate of BBR Ribs! Leave out the chocolate if you want to enjoy these with dinner, but as breakfast or dessert chocolate makes these extra sweet!
Ingredients:
chopped pecanslight brown sugarall purpose flourbuttervanilla extracteggsmini chocolate chips
Instructions:
Liberally coat cupcake liners or a muffin tin with nonstick spray.The amount of sugar in this recipe can cause the muffins to stick to paper liners, so make sure you’re greasing them properly!Combine the pecans, brown sugar, and flour in a large bowl and then add in the melted butter, vanilla, and eggs until evenly incorporated. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips.Fill muffin tins with batter evenly and bake for 20 – 25 minutes. These muffins don’t rise too much, so you can fill the liners up almost to the top.Serve warm or at room temperature.Can You Leave Out the Chocolate?
Yep, absolutely! And if you’re serving these as a side dish you might prefer them without the chocolate! The recipe will remain the same otherwise!
Serving Ideas:
These muffins are totally versatile! Here are my serving suggestions:
For breakfast! I mean they are muffins after all!As a side dish. It might seems crazy, but if you leave out the chocolate chips, these make a sweet bread that can pair great with your holiday meal or even a BBQ! Think about them like you would a sweet cornbread…same idea!Dessert! I mean they’re based on classic pie with a similar flavor profile, and they are certainly sweet enough to be enjoyed as a sweet treat after dinner!
How To Store:
Of course I love these served warm, but they’re just as good as room temperature! Just store them airtight for up to 3 days at room temperature. You can also freeze them for to to 30 days!

Pecan Pie Muffins
Description:
These Pecan Pie Muffins are perfect as breakfast, a side dish on Thanksgiving or for a BBQ or even dessert!
Ingredients:
1 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
10 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, whisked
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with liners and coat liberally with nonstick spray.* Set aside.
In a large bowl combine the pecans, brown sugar, and flour. Add in the melted butter and vanilla stirring to moisten. Then add the whisked eggs and stir until evenly incorporated. Lastly, stir in the chocolate chips.
Fill muffin tins with batter evenly and bake for 20 – 25 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
Notes:
*I prefer using the aluminum, coated liners or silicone liners in this recipe, as the paper liners tend to stick more. Again, make sure to coat liberally with nonstick spray. You can also do these without liners in the muffin tin as long as the pan is coated liberally with nonstick spray.
Store airtight for up to 3 days at room temperature. Freeze airtight for up to 30 days.

1 Defrost the turkey several days ahead: If you are starting with a frozen turkey, you will need to allow several days to defrost the turkey. You’ll want to defrost it in the refrigerator so that the turkey stays chilled during this process.
Put the wrapped frozen turkey in a pan to prevent leaks and then place it in the refrigerator. It will take about 5 hours of defrosting time for every pound of turkey. So if you have a 15 pound turkey, it should take about 75 hours, or 3 days, to defrost.
If you need to defrost it more quickly than that, you can place it in a large tub of cool water, and keep changing the water to keep it cold, until the turkey is defrosted.
2 Bring the turkey to room temp before roasting: Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 2 to 5 hours (depending on the size of the bird) before cooking to allow it to come closer to room temperature. The turkey will cook more quickly and more evenly that way.
3 Remove giblets and rinse: When you are ready to cook the turkey, remove it from its package. Usually turkeys come packaged with the neck and giblets (heart, gizzard, liver) in the main cavity or the neck opening (make sure to check both!)
Pull the giblets out; they are often wrapped in a small paper package.
If you want, you can chop up the heart and gizzard to make stock for the stuffing or dressing (put the chopped heart and gizzard into a small saucepan, cover with water, add salt, bring to simmer for an hour or so.)
You can either cook the neck alongside the turkey, or use it to make turkey stock. You can also use all of the giblets for making giblet gravy.
Rinse the turkey inside and out with water. If you see stray turkey feathers, pluck them out. Use paper towels to pat the turkey dry.
Many turkeys come with a plastic tie holding the drumsticks together. Check the instructions on the turkey package; it is likely that you will not need to remove the tie unless you are cooking the turkey at a very high temperature.
3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
4 Add the aromatics and truss the turkey: Slather the inside of the cavity with a tablespoon or so of lemon juice. Take a couple teaspoons of salt and rub all over the inside of the turkey. (Skip salt if you are using a brined turkey.)
Put half an onion, cut into wedges, several sprigs of parsley, a chopped carrot or two, and some leafy celery tops into the main cavity of the turkey. These are aromatics that will flavor the turkey from the inside as it cooks.
Cover the entrance to the main cavity with aluminum foil, or close it with metal skewers or kitchen string (not nylon string!), so that the aromatics don’t fall out while you are roasting the turkey.
Put a few sprigs of parsley into the neck opening, cover the opening with the surrounding turkey skin, and close the opening with skewers or string.
By the way, we don’t cook stuffing (or dressing as it is known in many parts of the country) in the turkey anymore. Stuffing the turkey adds to the overall cooking time, and not packing the turkey with stuffing will allow the turkey to cook more evenly. We do make our stuffing with stock made from the turkey giblets so the stuffing has plenty of turkey flavor.
We truss our turkey, though some people choose not too. The point of trussing is to keep the legs and wings close to the body so they don’t spread out while cooking.
To truss, make sure that the turkey’s legs are tied together, held close to the body, and tie a string around the turkey body to hold the wings in close. (Here’s a good video on trussing: how to truss a turkey.)
5 Season the outside of the turkey: Rub either softened butter or extra virgin olive oil all over the outside of the turkey. Sprinkle salt generously on all sides of the outside of the turkey (do not add salt if you are using a brined turkey). Sprinkle pepper over the turkey as well.
6 Place turkey breast-side down on the rack: Place the turkey BREAST DOWN on a rack over a sturdy roasting pan big enough to catch all the drippings.
How do you know the turkey is breast side down? The wings are up and the legs are down.
Note that you can also place the turkey directly on an oven rack with a large roasting pan to catch the drippings on the rack below. That method helps create a convection-like environment, helping the heat circulate more evenly around the turkey.
Add several sprigs of fresh (if possible) thyme, sage, and/or rosemary to the outside of the turkey or tucked under the wings.
Note that if you are using a remote thermometer (or two) to gauge the temperature of the turkey while it cooks, it’s easiest to find the right place to insert the probe when the turkey is breast-side UP. So eyeball where you think the thermometer probe(s) should go first, before placing the turkey breast-side down in the pan. Once the turkey is breast-side down in the pan, insert the probes into the thickest and coldest parts of the breast and/or thighs, making sure the probe(s) is not touching the metal rack or pan. If you only have one remote thermometer, put it in the breast.
7 Roast the turkey: Before you put the turkey in the oven, do a rough calculation of how much overall time it should take to cook the turkey. Usually they say to assume 15 minutes for every pound of meat, but I have found in practice that it’s usually less than that, more like 13 minutes per pound.
Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the turkey, how long it has been sitting at room temperature before cooking, and the shape and particulars of your specific oven. So come up with a rough estimate for the overall cooking time, and then make sure to check how the turkey is doing well before it is supposed to be done!
Put the turkey in the oven at 400°F, uncovered. For the 15 lb turkey, start the cooking at 400°F for the first 20 minutes to brown it. Then reduce the heat to 325°F for the next 1 to 2 hours, until the internal temperature of breast reaches about 140°F to 145°F or so. Then reduce the heat further to 225°F until done, anywhere from a half hour to an hour or more.
Note that the lower oven temperature at the end of cooking can help you time when you want the turkey to be done. If the turkey is cooking more quickly than you expect, lowering the oven temp can extend the cooking time. If the turkey isn’t cooking quickly enough and you’re ready to eat, don’t lower the temperature to 225°F, or if you already have, increase it again to 325°F.
8 Brown the breast (optional): If you want the turkey skin of the breast to be browned, when the turkey is close to being done (about 150°F for the breast), you’ll need to turn the turkey over so that the breast is on top, and put it in a 500°F oven or under the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes, just enough time to brown the breast.
Note that by browning the breast you may end up over-cooking the turkey breast a little bit. We often don’t turn the turkey over. Turning the turkey over can be a hot, messy job, so if you do it, the best way is to use clean oven mitts or clean kitchen towels (just throw them in the laundry afterwards.)
9 Check the turkey to be sure it’s done: Start taking temperature readings with a meat thermometer, inserted deep into the thickest part of the turkey breast and thigh, an hour and a half before the turkey should be done.
You want a resulting temperature of 165°F for the white meat (breast) and 165°F to 170°F for the dark meat (thighs and legs). The temperature of the bird will continue to rise once you take it out of the oven, so take the turkey out of the oven when the temperature reading for the breast is 155°F to 160°F, and for the thigh is 160°F to 165°F. If you don’t have a meat thermometer, spear the breast with a knife. The turkey juices should be clear, not pink.
If the thighs reach their target temperature before the breast, turn the turkey over and let the turkey finish cooking breast side up.
8 Rest the turkey and carve: Once you remove the turkey from the oven, transfer it to a cutting board, tent it with aluminum foil to keep it warm, and let it rest for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the turkey. Turn the turkey breast side up to carve it. (See Serious Eats video on How to Carve a Turkey.)
Making Turkey Gravy
Make the gravy while the turkey is resting covered on the carving board. If you have used a thick metal roasting pan, you can often put it directly on the stovetop burner, if not, scrape off the drippings and put them into a skillet. If you are using the roasting pan, use a metal spatula to scrape loose any dripping that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan.
1 Make a roux with the turkey fat: Use a metal spoon to ladle off some of the excess fat from the pan (leave about 4 Tbsp or so of fat and drippings in the pan) and reserve for another use.
You can use either flour or cornstarch to make the gravy. (We find we get better results with flour, so usually make gravy with flour unless serving a guest who must eat gluten-free.)
If using flour, heat the fat and drippings in the pan until they are bubbly. Sprinkle with 1/4 of flour all over the fat and drippings.
Stir with a wire whisk to make a roux with the flour and fat. Let the flour brown a minute or so in the hot pan.
2 Add liquid to make the gravy: Slowly add 3 cups of water, stock, or milk to the pan, whisking vigorously to get rid of any lumps. Let the gravy simmer and thicken.
Add salt and pepper, ground sage, thyme or other seasonings to taste.
See our gravy recipe for more detail and for instructions on making gravy using cornstarch.
Save Bones for Stock
When you are finished with your turkey, save the bones from the carcass to make a delicious turkey soup. LEGGI TUTTO
With a homemade crust and a sweet pecan filling, this is THE pecan pie for your Thanksgiving table! Make it a day or two ahead, or freeze it for even longer.
What’s your favorite Thanksgiving pie? Mine is a toss up among apple, pumpkin, and this homemade pecan pie. In fact, I love them all so much I make one of each for our Thanksgiving Day feast. (It seems like everyone in our family has their favorite, and if I don’t make them all someone will run to the store to fill the gap!)
VIDEO! How to Make Pecan Pie
Pecan Pie: A History
Pecans are native to North America, so it is entirely fitting that a pecan pie would make an annual appearance at Thanksgiving along with our other native foodstuffs like turkey, pumpkin, and cranberries.
Pecan pie itself, though, is a more recent invention. While the first printed recipes for the pie started appearing in the late 1800s, the pecan pie classic as we know it became popular through the marketing efforts of Karo in the 1930s, to help sell their corn syrup, a necessary ingredient in the pie.
How Much Sugar is Best for Pecan Pie?
Most pecan pie recipes I’ve found call for two cups of sugar—one cup of corn syrup plus one cup of either granulated or brown sugar. I find that just a bit too sweet for my taste, so for this pecan pie recipe, I’ve dropped the sugar down by half a cup. Feel free to reduce further or add more to your taste.
The molasses, butter, and vanilla bring out the wonderful flavor of the pecans. Nuts go rancid with storage, so make sure you are using the freshest of pecans for this pie!
How to Tell When Pecan Pie is Done Baking?
This pie bakes for a little over an hour at 350°F. When done, the crust should be golden brown and the pie should be set around the edges, but still a bit wiggly (like Jell-O) in the middle. It will continue to firm up as it cools.
Should Pecan Pie Be Served Warm or Room Temperature?
Once baked, pecan pie should be cooled down completely to room temperature before serving, or the filling will be runny. Once the pie has come to room temperature and the filling is set, if you want you can heat it in a 275°F oven for 10 minutes, but for the most part, pecan pie is served at room temp.
Does Pecan Pie Need to Be Refrigerated?
Typically pies with egg-based fillings, such as this pecan pie, need to be refrigerated. That said, I often make pecan pie a day ahead, tent it lightly with aluminum foil, and leave it on the counter, and I’ve never had an issue.
Leftover pie should be refrigerated, where it will easily keep for up to 3 to 4 days. If you’d like to store your pie for a longer period of time, I recommend freezing it.
How to Freeze Pecan Pie
Pecan pie freezes well. Bake it and let it cool completely on the counter. Wrap the pie in a double layer of sturdy plastic wrap, pressing out any air, then double wrap in foil, and freeze for up to a month.
To serve, thaw the frozen pie overnight in the refrigerator, before bringing it to room temperature. If you like, warm it in the oven for 10-15 minutes before serving.
