"Although this pie is named for New Orleans, our town is the world's 'pecan capital', so it fits us, too! My mama gave me this recipe, and it's my favorite."

Directions
- In saucepan, combine egg yolks, sour cream, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla and salt. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour into baked pie shell; set aside. In large mixing bowl, immediately beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add brown sugar; continue to beat until stiff. While filling is still warm, spread egg white topping over filling. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
