1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 Tablespoon self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
pinch of salt
1 cup chopped pecans
1 unbaked pie shell



Stir ingredients together then mix in pecans. Pour into pie crust. Bake AT 350 for 50-55 minutes or until center rises and cracks. I put foil around crust so it wont get too cooked.
