Tarte au sucre

Tarte au sucre or sugar pie is a French-Canadian staple. There are so many different recipes for this pie and they are all good! I remember exactly how my Grand-maman Auger's  (paternal grand-mother) tarte au sucre tasted, I remember how my Grand-maman Deveau's (maternal grand-mother) tarte au sucre tasted and of course I remember my mother's pie tasted. When a dessert is SO DELICIOUS, you assume that it is very difficult to prepare! It's not!! I only started making tarte au sucre a few years ago and I will be making them for a long time. They are perfect fresh out of the oven with vanilla ice cream or a tiny bit of cream on it.

Tarte au sucre:

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup 1/2 cream
1/2 maple syrup

Mix all the ingredients together and bring to a near boil. Let the mixture rest.

Easiest dough:

2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cut in small piece
6 tbsp sour cream

Mix all the ingredients together. Form a ball. Wrap in cling film and let rest in the fridge for 45 minutes. 

Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes.
