A classic pecan pie is a thing of beauty. If you've never experienced this All-American pud, then get baking – you'll never look back. Shortcrust pastry encases a nutty, slightly treacly filling in the original recipe, but we've embraced different combinations. How about a melty campfire s'more version, or a mash-up with the humble chocolate chip cookie...?
