Pecan Pie with Floodwoods Maple Syrup is a divine dessert that marries the richness of pecans with the exquisite sweetness of pure maple syrup. The flaky crust cradles a luscious filling, creating a harmonious blend of nutty and maple flavors. A slice is pure indulgence, a sweet symphony for the taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because who's got time for crust drama?)
- 1 cup pecan halves (they're like little nutty comedians)
- 3 large eggs (the egg-citing part of the show)
- 1 cup Floodwoods maple syrup (the star of our sweet spectacle)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (the pie's sugar daddy)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (the buttery sidekick)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the flavor maestro)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (just a pinch, we're not making a salty comedy routine)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Stage: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It's showtime, folks!
- Line the Crust: Take your pre-made pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Press it down gently to make it feel at home. Crimp the edges if you want to give it a fancy theater curtain look.
- Pecan Placement: Scatter your pecan halves all over the pie crust. Let them fall where they may. After all, this is a nutty production!
- Egg-cellent Mixing: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Floodwoods maple syrup, granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Imagine your whisk is a conductor's baton, leading the ingredients in a symphony of flavors.
- Pour the Ensemble: Pour your maple syrup mixture over the pecans. It's like the grand finale, where all the characters come together for the climax.
- Bake with Love: Place your pie in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until it's set and golden. It should jiggle like a happy belly laugh when gently tapped.
- Cooling Act: Allow your pecan pie to cool on a wire rack. It's intermission time!
- Slice and Serve: When your pie has cooled, slice it up, and serve it to your adoring audience (aka your family and friends). Top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate comedic twist.
And there you have it, a pecan pie with Floodwoods maple syrup that's bound to make your taste buds burst into applause! Enjoy your delicious and humorous culinary creation!
