Whisk together flour, sugar, butter and eggs, making sure to keep this crust dough cold so it comes out nice and flaky. Turn on the stove and bring more butter, sugar and corn syrup to a boil. Add nuts and eggs. Pour mixture into baked crust and bake for 45 minutes. That’s the essence of a traditional pecan pie – laborious and full of fat and sugar. Now try it the personal-pan way, where there’s no finicky dough and only 5 minutes of baking time. Did I mention one pie offers 26 grams of protein and less than 8 grams of sugar? And it’s all yours!
