--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4  cup           butter
   1      cup           sugar
   3      large         eggs
   1      cup           light corn syrup
     1/4  cup           brandy
   1      cup           whole pecans
   1                    unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350F. Beat the butter with an electric mixer to soften. Gradually add the sugar, then the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Beat in the corn syrup and brandy until well blended. Pour into the pie shell and sprinkle with the pecans. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until set around the edges. The filling will be puffy. Cool on a wire rack. From Nathalie Dupree's New Southern Cookin
