Sugar pie or "la tarte au sucre" is a traditional French Canadian dessert. Essentially, it is a one-crust pie made with sweet filling, much like pecan pie. Sugar pie filling is simple, made with butter, sugar, flour, cream, eggs, vanilla, salt, and, of course, maple syrup. The simplicity of the ingredients allows the flavors to remain distinct and balanced. Popular in Quebec and throughout Canada, sugar pie is often served at Christmastime as well as throughout the year, especially for celebrations.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Place the brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl, and beat them together with an electric mixer until creamy and very well combined, without lumps. Beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating the first egg before adding the next one. Add the vanilla extract and salt; beat the flour in, a little at a time, and then the milk, making a creamy batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes; remove pie, and cover the rim with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Return to oven, and bake until the middle sets and the top forms a crusty layer, about 15 more minutes. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips:
- For the perfect flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- Be sure to blind bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pie crust with egg wash before baking. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
