OK Here it is .. .. crust
2 c. (real) maple syrup 2 1/4 c flour
1 egg 1 tsp salt
1/2 c cream or rich milk 3/4 c plus 2 T lard
1 T butter 1/3 c cold water
dash of black pepper
1 T flour
Boil syrup until the soft ball stage ... cool slightly, then add the egg, cream, butter, pepper and flour. Mix well and pour into the bottom crust. Top with second crust and bake aat 350 for 45 to 55 minutes depending on your oven.
For a variation ... make the bottom crust as a one crust pie and use pecans instead of a top crust. Delicious!!
Just a few pies when the family gets together. My daughters are good cooks too!
