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:
- 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.
- Microwave on high for 9 minutes, whisking every 2 minutes to smooth out the mixture.
- 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.
