Gourmet Maple Pie (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 115 g cold, unsalted butter, diced

02 - 1 ml salt

03 - 190 g unbleached all-purpose flour

04 - 45 ml ice-cold water

05 - 2.5 ml baking powder

→ Filling

06 - 125 ml 35% cream

07 - 30 ml unbleached all-purpose flour

08 - 375 ml amber maple syrup

09 - 1 egg

10 - 30 ml cornstarch

# Instructions:

01 - Blend the flour, salt, and baking powder in a food processor. Toss in the butter and pulse until you see pea-sized bits. Slowly add the water and mix until a dough just starts forming, adding more water if it feels too dry. Take the dough out and shape it into a flat round.

02 - Sprinkle a work surface with flour and roll the dough out until it's about 3 mm thick. Place it in a 23 cm glass tart pan. Trim off any dough hanging over the edges. Chill it in the fridge for 30 minutes.

03 - Move the oven rack to the bottom position. Set the oven to 200 °C to preheat.

04 - In a bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and flour. Slowly add the maple syrup and whisk until smooth and lump-free. Stir in the cream and the egg, mixing until it's nicely blended. Pour the mixture into the crust.

05 - Put it in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is no longer wobbly. Let it cool at room temperature for 2 hours before slicing and serving.
