Merry Christmas (Mele Kalikimaka)!
Christmas with my mom is the best! (My kitty, Tiger, is shy when it comes to pix)
Can you guess which Christmas manicured hand is mine?
Doing the jolly dishes
Backstage where I sing classically for weddings.
This was a pie recipe that was introduced by a friend of mine when I used to live in Southern California. There, she shared this secret recipe with myself, and our other circle of friends. We all would take turns baking it-because it was super easy to make and bake! The taste is out of this world-not too sweet, but yet not too bitter. It will be gone in seconds if you bring this to work-trust me (smile). Now, I googled this recipe and found out that it wasn't such a secret after all-it's all over google! It's a southern Kentucky Derbie Pie recipe! Who knew? My friend was Chinese (wink), and she loved country music more than southern girls did! Now during this Christmas season-we all need more time for cooking and baking goodies for our loved ones. Thus, this is made with love and very quickly! I hope you get yourself in a good Christmas southern style mood and try it out! *Pie Shell-I made from scratch this time, for the first time! But all the other previous times I used a 9-inch unbaked ready to bake vanilla crust. Graham is okay-but try to stick with the vanilla if it's available. Okay. Ready? Set. Here! Kentucky Derbie Pie Recipe: Ingredients: 9-inch Pie Shell (from scratch or Vanilla crust pre-made) Chopped Pecans-1 cup Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips- 1 cup Sugar-1 cup Flour-1/2 cup Butter-1/4 cup Eggs-2 that are beaten Vanilla extract-1 tsp Directions: 1) Melt butter in microwave for 15 seconds, let it cool 2) Mix Sugar & flour, with melted butter & beaten eggs in a large bowl 3) Add everything else 4) Mix it thoroughly with a flat utensil so that it's gooey for about 2-4 minutes 5) Pour into unbaked pie shell 6) Bake on 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes *Pie Shell Recipe: Ingredients: Flour-1 cup Salt-1/4 tsp Sugar- 2 tsp Vanilla- 1 tsp Cold butter-8 tbsp ot 1 stick cut into pieces Iced water-4-6 tbsp Directions: 1) Flour, salt, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl mixed with fingers for 5 minutes 2) Drizzle 4 tbsp of iced water until dough is set 3) Shape dough with hands on a countertop, into a flat disc and place in pie pan. 4) Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes 5) Use with this pie recipe  I'm sure you have these in your pantry somewhere.  Mixing it all together thoroughly for about 2-4 minutes  9-inch Pie shell made from scratch or to save time buy a pre-made unbaked 9-inch vanilla crust pie shell  Ready to be baked for 35-40 minutes @ 350 degrees  Voila! Cool it on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. No need to refigerate. Warning-if you take this to work-it will be gone super fast..from seconds to just under an hour. So be sure you get a slice, too! If it's for the next day, warm up a slice in microwave for 10 seconds and serve with vanilla iced cream. Drool! |
