Basic Kentucky Derby Pie Recipe #130081
Now, this is the 1st recorded, BASIC Kentucky Derby Pie from Southern Indiana..Just across the river from Louisville, KY, where the Kentucky Derby made this pie famous! I must be honest with you, that ever since this "famous 1st recipe" was used, there have been several other (MODIFIED) versions of this wonderful dessert...Most of them include some sort of Kentucky Bourbon!!! In my opinion, the ones that include that KY Bourbon are the best, but I wanted to share with you the ORIGINAL Kentucky Derby Pie (from the 1920's)...Just FYI...
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup english walnuts
1 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup melted butter (1 stick)
1 ready-made pie crust ( i can't make a homemade one to save my life)
55 minutes 10 mins prep
Mix flour and sugar. Add eggs, then butter. Add nuts, chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
Pour mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 - 45 minutes. Test with tooth pick; pie should be chewy but not runny -- Bake longer, if necessary.
