Texas Pecan Pie

This recipe, written in my grandmother's handwriting, comes from our cousin Verna.

Texas Pecan Pie

1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. light molasses
1 t. vanilla
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1/2 salt (scant)
3 eggs, beaten
3 1/2 T. flour
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/2 lb. pecan meats, unsalted

Put in pastry and bake in moderate oven until done. It will be shiny on top and nice and brown.
