When I make this recipe I plan on adding at least one tablespoon of real unsalted butter. I will post back how that addition works out. I'm doing this because I have never made a pecan pie without butter, and being from the Deep South, I just can't *not* add some real butter:( I hope that I don't ruin the recipe..

where's the butter? I'm from New Orleans and we used butter in our pecan pies
