Categories     Egg     Dessert

Yield 9 inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

PASTRY
11/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup ice water
Extra flour (for sprinkling)
FILLING
1/2 cup maple syrup
11/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
5 egg yolks, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Calvados or other apple-based brandy (optional)

Steps:

  • PASTRY 1. In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Pulse to blend them. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal with small chunks of butter. Add the water and pulse until dough just comes together. 2. On a lightly floured counter, work the dough gently until it forms a ball. Flatten the dough into a disk and wrap in foil. Refrigerate for 1 hour. 3. Set the oven at 375 degrees. Have on hand a 9-inch pie pan. 4. On a lightly floured counter, roll the dough to a 12-inch round. Lift it onto the rolling pin and ease it into the pie pan. Fold the overhang under like a hem and crimp the edges. Prick the dough all over and line it with foil. Add pie weights. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and pie weights. Continue baking for 7 minutes or until the dough looks cooked on the bottom. Leave to cool. 5. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees. FILLING 1. In an electric mixer, whisk the maple syrup and heavy cream until frothy. 2. Add the brown sugar, egg yolks, nutmeg, and Calvados, if using. Beat vigorously. Pour the filling into the crust and sprinkle the top with maple or granulated sugar. 3. Bake for 45 minutes or until the filling puffs up into a souffle-like custard but still jiggles slightly. Cool for at least 2 hours. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out a complete disaster. The crust was burnt and the filling was curdled.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The custard filling was a little runny and the crust was too thick.
