Ingredients
Preparation
Pie Crust for 9" pie: see note (1)
1/3 cup shortening or lard
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 Tbs. cold water
FILLING:
2 whole eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
8 ounces butter (1 cup = 2 sticks), melted and cooled
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
1 cup chopped pecans or walnut
whipping cream or ice cream, optional, to serve with
Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
1. To prepare pastry you may use mixer. Cut shortening into flour then add water to form a paste.
2. Roll dough on floured surface. Cover a 9" pie plate with a fluted edge. Set aside.
3. In large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Add flour, sugar and brown sugar; beat until well blended. Blend in butter. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips and nuts.
4. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan.
5. Bake in preheated oven until set, about 1 hr. Pie is done when no longer feels liquid at the center if gently touched. Pie looks greasy when hot but it will absorb the butter as it cools down.
Cool completely before serving.
NOTE: 1) Filling will make 4 full individual size pies.
Makes one 9" pie or 4 (full) individual pies.
