My mother used to make more of a custard-style pecan pie, though she wasn’t from Texas.

My mother usually called it a syrup custard pecan pie. Cook cane syrup, butter, and sugar until it reaches soft ball stage, 235-240 degrees. Cool it a little, gradually mix with an egg and vanilla and pecans. Pour into pastry shell and bake. Mmm Mmm good!
