Grandpa Huff'S Pecan Pie

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
• 3 eggs
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup canned evaporated milk(NOT sweetened condensed milk)
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup finely ground pecans (I grind the pecans to the consistency of meal with a coffee grinder)
• 40 pieces Whole pecan halves for the top of the pie

1. Prepare the pie crust, place in a 9-inch pie plate, and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Beat in the brown sugar, salt, melted butter,milk, corn syrup and vanilla. Stir in the ground pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared pie shell. Arrange whole pecans on top of the batter (they will kind of float).
3. Bake in a preheated 450 oven for 10 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to 350. Bake an additional 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.
5. The filling may rise up really high while baking, but will settle as the pie cools.
