For an even deeper flavor, consider browning the butter before creaming it with the sugar. This adds a nutty dimension to the pie. To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can cover the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. If you don't have light cream, you can substitute with half-and-half or even whole milk, although the texture may be slightly different. Feel free to experiment with other nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, in place of or in addition to the pecans. A splash of bourbon or rum can be added to the filling for an extra layer of warmth and complexity.
