In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the crust.
Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together.
Shape the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk.
Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and chill for 10 minutes.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, corn syrup, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Arrange the pecan halves in the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the filling over the pecans.
Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing and serving.
