Notes

You’ll want some pecan pieces and some halves to make your pie just right. About half pieces and half halves usually works!
 
It’s that heaping Tbs of flour that makes for a light upper crust (it’s barely discernable, but it’s there).
 
I prefer the dark Karo for this recipe, but you can use the light and it will taste just fine.
 
If you find that the crusts of your pie are starting to brown too quickly, cover with some aluminum foil until the pie is done.
 
The pie is done when the center wiggles just barely
