Beer Pie

1 Basic 9" Pie Crust (unbaked)

12 ounces Beer, chilled (the darker and sweeter the better)

2 tbsp Butter

1 cup light corn syrup

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups flour

1 cup chopped pecans

3 eggs

1 egg white, beaten

Pecans for garnish

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Pour beer into a pan and heat on medium. Reduce to a syrup-ish consistency, then let it cool slightly.

Melt the butter in a separate pan.

Combine the reduced beer with the melted butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, flour, and chopped pecans with a wire whisk until thoroughly blended.

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs then stir into a syrup mixture until blended.

Prick the pie crust with a fork and then brush lightly with egg white.

Pour the filling in to the crust, garnish with pecans and bake in the center of the oven for approximately 40 minutes or until a knife stuck in the center comes out clean.

Cool before serving.
