Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For crust: Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle ice water over dough, mixing quickly just until dough forms a ball (dough will be soft). On a lightly floured surface, use a floured rolling in to roll out dough. Place the dough in an ungreased 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp edges of dough.
For filling: Combine eggs and nuts in a medium mixing bowl and beat well by hand. In a saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Bring mixture to a boil. Beating constantly by hand, gradually add sugar mixture to egg mixture. Pour mixture into a pie shell. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted ibn the center comes out clean.
