Bluegrass Pie Recipe

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Mix flour, salt and sugar. Cut butter into pieces. Cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles flaky meal. Sprinkle in ice water. Work into a ball that cleans the sides of the mixing bowl. (To mix in a food processor, place dry ingredients in work bowl. Top with pieces of cold butter and shortening, and pulse until mealy. With machine running, pour in ice water all at once. When dough forms a ball that knocks around sides of the bowl, stop machine at once.)
  2. Flatten dough into a disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes (or freeze).
  3. Roll dough into a circle 3 to 4 inches wider than pie plate, set in the plate, and trim with scissors so dough extends 3/4 inch beyond the rim. Fold this overhand under so it is even with plate's rim and crimp into large flutes. Chill 30 minutes, while you prepare the filling.
  4. Filling
  5. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  6. 1/4 cup brown sugar
  7. 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Fold in nuts. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the bottom of the pie crust. Immediately pour in batter. Bake 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let set before serving. The pie should be chewy but not runny. It may be re-warmed slightly for serving. Served topped with vanilla ice cream or Tangy Whipped Cream.
