Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups (180g) All Purpose Flour, (measured correctly† )
3 tbsp White Sugar
Pinch of Salt
3/4 cup Cold Unsalted Butter, (cubed)
3 tbsp Cold Water, (plus more if needed)
3 tbsp Cold Vodka
3 Large Eggs
2 tbsp Corn Starch
2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
2 tbsp Unsalted Butter, (softened)
2 cups Brown Sugar
1 can (12 fl oz or 354mL) Evaporated Milk
Pinch of Salt

Steps:

  • Mix together vodka and water into a small measuring cup, then set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add in cold butter cubes, and work the butter into flour with your hands or a pastry cutter. Work the butter until it is crumbly and about the size of peas.
  • Slowly drizzle in vodka-water while simultaneously tossing with a fork to combine. After all the vodka-water has been added, knead the dough a few times inside the bowl until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough doesn't come together, slowly add more water until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Form dough, as best as you can, into a disk shape, then place into a freezer bag, then into the fridge for an hour to chill.
  • Remove dough from fridge and place onto counter for 5 minute to warm-up a bit. Remove the dough from the freezer bag and place onto a well-floured work surface.
  • Roll dough out to be about 1/4" thick, and about 10-11" in diameter.
  • Place rolled out dough into a 9" pie plate, then trim the edges (and crimp them if you'd like). Place the prepared pie plate back into the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and corn starch. Once smooth, add the softened butter and whisk together until the butter is well-dispersed (a few butter chunks here and there is fine). Add the brown sugar, evaporated milk, and salt to the bowl and whisk until well-combined.
  • Remove the prepared pie plate from the freezer and pour the filling into the prepared pie plate.
  • Place the pie on top of a baking sheet and then place into the oven for 35-45 minutes. When done, the filling should still be a little jiggly (it'll set after you pull it out). Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for an hour and then place into the fridge for at least 4 hours to cool.
  • Serve cold with whipped cream, ice cream, or a sprinkling of flaky salt.

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups brown sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk

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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the butter and cream. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the pie.
  • Make sure the butter is cold when you add it to the flour. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overwork the dough. This will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to trim the edges of the dough. This will help to create a clean, even crust.
  • Don't over-bake the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.

Conclusion:

Tarte au sucre is a classic French-Canadian dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flaky crust and creamy, sweet filling, it's the perfect pie to enjoy for any occasion.
