Smoky Pecan Pie

METHOD:

For the Pie Dough:
Cut the butter into small cubes (around a ½ inch) and freeze. Mix the flour, sugar, and salt together. Add the butter and mix until it is broken up into pieces that are slightly small than peas. Add the ice water one spoonful at a time until the dough comes together; the water amount may vary, but do not overwork. As soon as the dough comes together, wrap in plastic warp and refrigerate overnight.

For the Pecan Pie Filling:
Combine the sugar, flour, and salt in a bowl. Slowly add the eggs, then the corn syrup, molasses, and vanilla. Finally, add the butter, chipotle, and pecans. Pour into the prepared pie shell and bake at 300°F until set (around 30 to 45 minutes). Remove from oven when set and splash/soak with tequila.
