Quebec Maple Syrup Pie

It's maple syrup time here in Quebec.

Time to taste all the sweet things,
  natures has to offer.

My recipe is adapted from 

ricardocuisine.com

Sometimes I buy store made crust.

Pie Crust

1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
3 tbsp ice cold water.

In a large bowl, combine flour, 
baking powder and salt.

Cut butter into flour mixture until 
it resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in water, until mixture forms a ball.

Roll out about 1/8th inch thickness,
 to fit a 8 or 9 inch pie plate

Filling for the pie
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups maple syrup
1/2 cup 35% heavy cream.

Preheat oven to 400 deg. F.
Place oven rack in the lowest position.

In a bowl, whisk together 

the cornstarch and flour.

Add the maple syrup and 

whisk until well combined.

Add the cream and egg and whisk until
 mixture is completely 

combined and smooth.

Pour into prepared pie shell.

Bake at 400 deg for 45 minutes,
until the filling has set.

It is great served with ice cream or cream.
