Derby Day Celebration Pie Mw Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Press pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate.
• Beat corn syrup, white sugar, and eggs together in a bowl using an electric mixer on low speed until well blended; stir in chocolate chips, pecans, butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract. Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set, 45 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Fit pie crust into 9-inch pie plate. Preheat oven to 325°F. There are some folks who would prick the crust and partially bake it to prevent a soggy crust. I think doing this depends on your weather and if your pie crusts tend to get soggy while baking.
• Mix sugar and flour together. Add eggs, butter, nuts, chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir until blended. Pour into crust-lined pie plate.
• Bake 1 hour at 325°F. Test for doneness with a toothpick - it should show no more than dry crumbs.
• Variation: add 2 Tbsp Bourbon to pie filling while mixing and continue as directed. This one doubles easily, too, but I tend to mix the fillings separately to make sure the ingredients stay evenly divided on each pie.

• More Info on the recipe: I can't call this pie the name that was given to it by that Chef, because, Kern's Kitchen has trademarked the name, "Derby Pie" - see info below; however, that same Chef allegedly told Mom that this is THE "Derby Pie" recipe. Maybe he worked for them back in the day - I don't know, I was young at the time. I just know it is one "de-lish" pie. SO - I've called it Derby Day Celebration Pie to keep in the theme of things. Enjoy! Kern's Kitchen makes their pies with walnuts, but my preference is for pecans. The best way to serve a slice of this pie is warm and topped with real whipped cream - just like Momma Kern would have. DERBY-PIE® IS A FEDERALLY REGISTERED TRADEMARK of KERN'S KITCHEN and has been baked exclusively by KERN'S KITCHEN since the early 1950s.
