SUGAR PIE - FRENCH CANADIAN COOKING

Steps:

• Mix sugar and molasses together. Mix in milk, then beat in eggs, melted butter and flour.
• Divide between two uncooked pie crusts that have been dusted with flour.
• Place the pies on cookie sheets in case they bubble over (although they shouldn't unless you put all the filling in one crust.) Bake at 400F for about half an hour.
• Let cool completely before eating.

SUGAR CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together (add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, if necessary). Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk; wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Roll out the dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Pierce the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate the crust until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Make the filling: Whisk the heavy whipping cream, sugar, flour and vanilla in a bowl. Pour into the chilled crust, dot with the butter and sprinkle the nutmeg on top. Carefully transfer the pie plate to the hot baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly in spots, about 55 more minutes (the center will still jiggle slightly); cover the crust edges with foil if they're browning too quickly. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

MIRACULOUS CANADIAN SUGAR PIE

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.

SUGAR CREAM PIE

SUGAR PIE

Steps:

• To make the crust, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the lard, and with a pastry cutter or two forks, cut the lard into the flour until the mixture resembles small peas. Add the ice water, 2 tablespoons at a time, and mix with two knives. Add just enough water so that all the flour is incorporated and the dough pulls together into a rough ball.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured board, and with a rolling pin flatten the dough into a 6-inch square. Scatter the butter pieces all over the dough, then fold the dough in half. Roll the dough back out into a 6-inch square, then fold and roll out again. Repeat once more, then cover the dough with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and allow to soften.
• To make the filling, combine the sugar, condensed milk, flour and butter in a medium-size bowl. Stir until smooth.

Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees, and continue baking for another 25 minutes. The filling will look cracked and bumpy. Do not overbake.

INDIANA SUGAR CREAM PIE

• Make the Pate Brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a bowl). Add butter and pulse (or quickly cut in with a pastry blender or your fingertips) until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces remaining. Drizzle 1/4 cup water over mixture. Pulse (or mix with a fork) until mixture just begins to hold together. If dough is too dry, add 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse (or mix with a fork).
• Divide dough in half onto two pieces of plastic wrap. Gather into two balls, wrap loosely in plastic, and press each into a disk using a rolling pin. Refrigerate until firm, well wrapped in plastic, 1 hour or up to 1 day. Dough can be frozen up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using.
• Make the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. (Reserve remaining disk for another use.) Fit dough into a 9-inch pie dish and press into bottom edges and up the sides. Trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang; fold edge under and crimp as desired. Freeze 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack located in the lower third. Line crust with parchment paper, gently pressing the parchment into the edges of the crust; weigh down parchment with dried beans or pie weights.
• Bake until the edges of the pastry begin to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove pie weights and parchment paper. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown in color, about 15 minutes more. Transfer the crust to a wire rack to cool slightly.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add flour and cook, whisking, over medium heat for 2 minutes (do not let flour darken). Whisk in milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain mixture into cooled crust and bake until filling is slightly set, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
