1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and set an oven rack in the lower-middle position.

2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the white sugar and dark corn syrup, stirring until smooth and just starting to bubble.

3. Stir the cornstarch into the cold water until no lumps remain, then add it to the saucepan and simmer 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.

4. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and vanilla extract. Slowly whisk in the warm syrup mixture until combined, then stir in the chopped pecans.

5. Pour the filling into the unbaked 9-inch pie shell and spread the pecans evenly across the top.

6. Bake 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center barely wobbles, with the filling reaching 160°F (71°C). Cool on a wire rack at least 2 hours before slicing.
