Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Lightly toast pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium saucepan, melt Jersey butter over medium heat. Remove from heat.
Whisk in light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and Jersey Black Butter until well combined.
Gradually whisk in Jersey milk until smooth.
Whisk in beaten eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in vanilla extract, salt, and mashed Jersey Royal potatoes (if using).
Arrange toasted pecan halves evenly in the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour the filling mixture over the pecans.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. The crust should be golden brown.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to fully set.
Nutrition per serving (120g)
To prevent the crust from burning, cover the edges with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
If the pie is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
Serve with a dollop of Jersey cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
For a deeper Black Butter flavour, increase the amount to 1/3 cup, adjusting the sugar accordingly.
The mashed Jersey Royal potatoes are optional, but they add a unique texture and subtle earthy flavour that complements the sweetness of the pie.
