Optional: Whipped cream, whipped topping or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Combine the melted butter, flour, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt, and milk in a large bowl and mix well.

Notes
To roast the pecans, spread them out on a rimmed cookie sheet and roast them in a 350-degree oven for ten minutes. This recipe makes two regular size pies. I only had one deep-dish pie shell, which I used, and I put all of the pecans in it. If you use a deep-dish pie shell, you will have a small amount of custard left over.If you use two regular pie shells, divide the pecans evenly between the pies and divide the custard evenly between the two as well.
