Not many dishes exemplify true Canadian goodness like the Maple Syrup Pie, known as Tarte Au Sirop D’Erable in French.  Served around the holidays, or for special occasions, this simple-to-make pie is both beautiful and delicious. My Grand-Mother probably would not approve of this microwaveable version, but those of us who have a limited amount of time to bake will be thankful. 

Pie Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk
• 2 large eggs, slightly beaten
• 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1  9-inch Press-In Shortbread Pie Crust, baked

Pie Directions:

1. Place all pie ingredients, except for the crust, in a large, microwaveable bowl. Whisk well to incorporate all the ingredients. Note that there will initially be lumps due to the butter.
2. Microwave on high for 9 minutes, whisking every 2 minutes to smooth out the mixture.
3. Pour mixture into the baked pie crust and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Serves 8-10.

Notes:  Pie can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 4 days.  If doubled or tripled, the pies can easily be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil.
