(NC)—Quebec has a long history in the sugar bush and this fabulous Maple Sugar Pie is a French Canadian classic! (It's interesting to note that pound for pound, maple sugar is not as sweet as sugar.)
1 1/2 cups real maple syrup 375mL
1/3 cup Robin Hood All Purpose Flour 75mL
1/2 cup cold water 125mL
3/4 cup heavy cream 175mL
2 tbsp butter 30mL
1/3 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped 75mL
Prepare pastry according to recipe and place in 9" pie plate.
Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
Bring maple syrup to a boil in medium saucepan, stirring constantly.
