Pecan Pie<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 pack of sweet short crust pastry<br />

100ml (4floz) maple syrup<br />

110g (4oz) demerara sugar<br />

55g (2oz) butter<br />

2 eggs<br />

110g (4oz) pecan nuts<br />

1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C. Roll out the pastry to line a 23cm (9”) flan tin.<br />

2. Line with greaseproof paper over the base and up the sides, pour in baking beans and bake<br />

blind for 15 minutes.<br />

3. Boil the maple syrup, sugar and butter together for 2 - 3 minutes. Cool slightly.<br />

4. Remove the beans and greaseproof from the flan case.<br />

5. Beat the eggs into maple syrup mixture. Arrange the pecan nuts in the flan case and pour<br />

over the syrup.<br />

6. Bake at 160°C for 25 minutes until the filling is set.<br />

7. Serve warm or cold with cream or crème fraiche.<br />

Note: For a richer pie, try lining the baked flan case with 110g (4oz) of melted chocolate before<br />

adding the nut and syrup mix.<br />

For an even quicker version use a pre-prepared sweet flan case and use the filling above.<br />
