Heirloom Baking…Fudge Pie!

Holy tons of pie recipes Batman! It's a Love The Pie party over at Tidymom! There are some serious pie recipes over there! Check 'em out!

I bought this book after I went on my baking hiatus. I thought it might be a bad idea since I wasn’t supposed to be baking…but the book is a beauty Peeps. There are recipes from our mother’s and grandmothers day. Some you may recognize others weren’t familiar but looked amazing.  The list of ingredients used for most of these recipes you’ll have on hand, which is just one of it’s many delights!

I’m going to pass along a recipe in just a moment but first I want to show you around the inside of this scrumptious baking book…

And in the back there’s this hidden envelope so you can tuck away a few recipes from your own past! A-Door-able!

This is the one I’m doing today…Chocolate Fudge Pie. I managed to stick to the recipe except I toasted some chopped walnuts and threw those in! I have a tough time sticking to a recipe! This fuggy-brownie like pie recipe comes from the 1930′3. It’s nothing new and amazing but it IS super easy. Super fast. And Super Scrumptious!

~Chocolate Fudge Pie~

* 1/2 Cup Flour

* 1/8 teaspoon salt

* 1/2 Cup butter~melted

* 1 Cup sugar

* 2 Eggs

* 1 oz. bitter chocolate, melted and cooled

* 1 teaspoon vanilla

*** 1/2 cup toasted (350* for 5-6 minutes on cookie sheet covered with parchment) Walnuts!**** (this is my addition)

Set oven rack in the center position. Preheat to 325*. Coat pie plate with cooking spray.

Sift together flour and salt.

Cream butter and sugar ~ Add eggs, one at a time and beat until thoroughly mixed. Add sifted dry ingredients. Add chocolate and vanilla…***and toasted Walnuts!***

Pour batter into pie plate. Bake about 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool and serve slightly warm…add vanilla ice cream or drizzle some chocolate over the top!

Okay…I’m doing “great” with my baking hiatus! Now I’m going to define “great”: I’m only baking on the weekends and this is at least 50% less baking than I was doing before. Nobody’s perfect and in the end I gotta be “me” and “me” loves to  bake!
