I WAS going to wait to post this.  I WAS in a bit of a funk yesterday over the Virginia Tech tragedy and posts etc. But I am now feeling better after the support I have received so, here goes. 

As a Canadian (and we all know I'm a proud one) I live in a country with a diverse culture.  I am part of the English speaking population of my country and unlike many of my English speaking country-folk I embrace everything about my French speaking country men.  Especially, traditional Quebec cooking.  I love tourtiere and maple everything!  But my all time favourite is Sugar Pie (tarte sucre).  A warning to those who love sweets: Take it slow.  This pie can become extremely addictive (I made one a week when I pregnant with my forth).

 

This is not my standard recipe but it is a close second.  My regular recipe has made it into the abyss of filing that I should be doing.  This recipe comes from a Canadian Standard:

Canadian Living from their Country Cooking Cookbook.

 

Acadian Sugar Pie

 

This sugar pie is rich and sweet and is best served in very small wedges, topped with whipped cream.

 

Ingredients:

Pastry for 9" pie

2    cups      Brown sugar, packed
2    tbls         Flour, all purpose
      pinch     Salt
2                    Eggs
1                    Egg yolk
1    cup         Milk
1  tsp            Vanilla

Directions:
Roll out pastry and fit into 9" pie plate, trim and flute edges. In bowl, blend sugar, flour and salt. In separate bowl using electric mixer, beat eggs and yolk till frothy; beat in milk and vanilla. Stir egg mixture into sugar mixture till smooth. Bake in 400F oven for 10 minutes; reduce to 350F and bake for about 35 minutes or till crust is golden brown and filling is set. Let cool on rack.

    botoni- tourtiere is a French Canadien meat pie so you know it's rich and fattening, probably containg lard. ;-)

    Swizzle.....I m very familiar with tourtiere and love it. The Acadians make a meat pie very similiar to tourtiere. It usually contains pork, beef and poultry but no vegetables....yummmy also. Speaking of the eastern delicacies....nothing as wonderful as first run maple syrup!
