TARTE AU SUCRE FRANCAISE (FRENCH CANADIAN SUGAR PIE)
My grandmother use to make a "tarte au sucre" for every family gathering. The kids would be wired all day, lol. I have been looking for a recipe that turns out like hers for a long time now. I have tried a few, all delicious, but not quite the same. A few weeks ago, my Mom was looking through a box of stuff left behind after my grandma passed away a while back and , there it was....... Her recipe for tarte au sucre. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. You might want to have a glass of milk with you when you do eat it, it is extremely sweet!

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.

TARTE AU SUCRE
More than 75 percent of the world's maple-syrup supply is produced in Quebec. In Canada the sap doesn't start running until early March, when the nights are still freezing but the days are bright. Locals process the syrup in a cabane à sucre, or sugar shack, and harvest brings with it celebration, often with a multicourse meal that puts the maple syrup front and center in dishes like this tarte au sucre, or maple syrup pie.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Make the crust by combining the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Cut the butter into the flour with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Sprinkle a tablespoon of ice water at a time over the dough, lifting and tossing it with the fork. When it begins to come together, gather the dough, press it into a ball and then pull it apart. If it crumbles in your hands, it needs more water. Add a teaspoon or two more water, as needed.
- Flatten the ball of dough and roll between two sheets of plastic wrap into a circle 10 inches in diameter. Remove the plastic and lay the dough into a 9-inch tart pan, press into place and remove excess dough. Place in the freezer.
- Meanwhile, make the filling by beating the eggs in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the flour. Add the cream and maple syrup and whisk until combined. Pour into the crust-lined pan. Cook until the middle still jiggles but is solid, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with créme fraîche.
