Why did my pecan pie end up runny?

Answer 1

Could be:
Not enough eggs.
Too much of liquid ingredients.
Crappy recipe.
Oven too cool.
Not baked enough.

Buy a bottle of Karo light or dark corn syrup, follow the recipe on the back. Use a glass pie plate and an oven thermometer.

Answer 2

My Pecan Pie Is Runny

Answer 3

If you had enough eggs, usually 3 for a nine inch pie pan then you didn't cook it long enough. Buy a digital candy thermometer and use it . It needs to get to 200 degrees F

You also need to let it set for a couple of hours before you cut it. It will come out of the oven with the middle about like jello... not really runny but not hard either.

Answer 4

The only reason I can think of is that you didn't bake it long enuf.

Most pecan pie recipes have eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter, nuts, maybe a little salt or vanilla.

It's the eggs that thicken it, and the only reason it wouldn't is undercooking.

Answer 5

With the rest of the ingredients, add 1 tsp flour, blend it in well. This will help the pie set and it will not be runny. . .

Answer 6

Did you use brown sugar instead of white sugar????

My ex gf did this when making her first apple pie and had the very same result.

Answer 7

Add another egg to the recipe.

And add a Tbsp. of cornmeal to the filling; helps it set up.

Answer 8

becasue when you put it in the oven you ate it before you let it sit

Answer 9

Was this before or after you ate it?

Answer 10

YOU HAVE TO BAKE IT LONG ENOUGH AND LET IT SIT LONG ENOUGH
