Miranda just called from Lafayette, Indiana. She and Abby are visiting with a the Hawards this weekend. I guess a chocolate urge has surfaced; she asked for the recipe for another regional favorite, Derby Pie. Of course, I really can't call it that because that is a copyrighted name. So, she actually asked for the chocolate pecan pie recipe served at Derby time. It is sweet, rich, and a real diet killer. You gotta love it :)
Almost Derby Pie
Make sure you use a regular size pie crust; a deep-dish won’t work.
Derby Pie is a copyrighted name (just like Oreos) from the Melrose Inn, near Louisville.
Preheat oven to 350°
Melt:
½ cup butter
Add:
1 cup sugar
½ cup flour
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Stir in:
¾ cup chopped pecans
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pour into an unbaked pie shell. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
