Yield: 1 pie
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 3 | Eggs |
| 1 | cup Sugar |
| 1/2 | cup Flour |
| 1/2 | cup Butter |
| 1 | tsp Vanilla |
| 1 | cup Walnuts |
| 1 | cup Chocolate Chips |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your pie bakes evenly to perfection.
-
Melt butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, set it aside to cool for about 4 or 5 minutes. This step prevents the hot butter from cooking the eggs when added.
-
Prepare eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them thoroughly until they are well combined. This will help create a smooth and creamy texture for your pie filling.
-
Combine dry ingredients: To the beaten eggs, add the sugar and flour. Beat the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. This forms the base of your delicious filling.
-
Incorporate butter: Pour the cooled melted butter into the egg mixture. Gently fold it in until the butter is evenly distributed throughout the batter. This adds richness and moisture to the pie.
-
Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the pie filling. Then, add the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly dispersed. These ingredients bring a delightful crunch and bursts of chocolatey goodness to every bite.
-
Prepare pie shell: Take a pie shell and gently pour the prepared filling into it, spreading it out evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the surface, ensuring an even distribution of the ingredients.
-
Bake: Place the filled pie shell in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour. Keep an eye on it as it bakes, ensuring it reaches a golden brown hue and the filling is set.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Platte County Pie can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. For an extra indulgent treat, serve it with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
