Best Tarte Au Sucre Francaise French Canadian Sugar Pie Recipes

FRENCH CANADIAN SUGAR PIE (TART AU SUCRE)

Steps:

• Mix together vodka and water into a small measuring cup, then set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine. Add in cold butter cubes, and work the butter into flour with your hands or a pastry cutter. Work the butter until it is crumbly and about the size of peas.
• Slowly drizzle in vodka-water while simultaneously tossing with a fork to combine. After all the vodka-water has been added, knead the dough a few times inside the bowl until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough doesn't come together, slowly add more water until a shaggy dough forms.
• Form dough, as best as you can, into a disk shape, then place into a freezer bag, then into the fridge for an hour to chill.
• Remove dough from fridge and place onto counter for 5 minute to warm-up a bit. Remove the dough from the freezer bag and place onto a well-floured work surface.
• Roll dough out to be about 1/4" thick, and about 10-11" in diameter.
• Place rolled out dough into a 9" pie plate, then trim the edges (and crimp them if you'd like). Place the prepared pie plate back into the freezer for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, and corn starch. Once smooth, add the softened butter and whisk together until the butter is well-dispersed (a few butter chunks here and there is fine). Add the brown sugar, evaporated milk, and salt to the bowl and whisk until well-combined.
• Remove the prepared pie plate from the freezer and pour the filling into the prepared pie plate.
• Place the pie on top of a baking sheet and then place into the oven for 35-45 minutes. When done, the filling should still be a little jiggly (it'll set after you pull it out). Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for an hour and then place into the fridge for at least 4 hours to cool.
• Serve cold with whipped cream, ice cream, or a sprinkling of flaky salt.
