Pecan Pie

My mother-in-law was a teacher. I found this recipe typed out on part of a basic arithmetic worksheet, noting that it is from Mildred Neal. The original recipe doesn’t say whether the pecans should be chopped & says nothing about a pie crust. It also doesn’t say anything about cooking the filling, so I really don’t know if this recipe will work. The parts in () are what I've added.

Servings: 1 pie

3 eggs

1½ c. dark corn syrup

1 c. coconut ( spelled "cocoanut")

1 c. (chopped?) pecans

Beat eggs.

Melt butter.

Stir syrup, coconut, nuts, & butter into eggs; (then pour into pie shell.)
