Maple Syrup Pie

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Valley View Woodlands Maple Syrup
• creme fraiche, for serving

Instructions

1. 1
   1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the crust by combining the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the flour with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Sprinkle a tablespoon of ice water at a time over the dough, lifting and tossing it with the fork. When it begins to come together, gather the dough, press it into a ball and then pull it apart. If it crumbles in your hands, it needs more water. Add a teaspoon or two more water, as needed.

   2. Flatten the ball of dough and roll between two sheets of plastic wrap into a circle 10 inches in diameter. Remove the plastic and lay the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, press into place and remove excess dough. Place in the freezer.

   3. Meanwhile, make the filling by beating the eggs in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the flour. Add the cream and maple syrup and whisk until combined. Pour into the crust-lined pan. Cook until the middle still jiggles but is solid, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with crème fraiche.
