OK Here's my contribution (and thanks for the help in wanting to know how big a half recipie will be.)
Utterly Deadly Southern Pecan Pie
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups clear syrup
1 1/2 cups broken pecans
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp. butter
1 tsp vanilla
Boil sugar and syrup together for three minutes. Beat the eggs well (with mixer) then pour in slowly the hot syrup, (while beating), add the butter, vanilla, and pecan meats. Pour into a raw pie shell and bake 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set.
