Thick icing

How to Make a Butter Pecan Pie
- Beat together butter and sugar until smooth (about 3-7 minutes)
- slowly add the eggs 1 at a time
- add flavors
- add flour and milk
- starting with flour and ending with flour
- add the chopped pecans
- pour into the greased pan
- Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Check after 45 minutes. Mine was ready after 1 hour.
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake and if it comes out with batter on top, leave the cake in for the entire baking time.
- The toothpick should come out clean.
- Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Then transfer to a cake plate. Be sure to cover the cake so it doesn’t dry out. A tight-fitting cake pan would be perfect.
