Recipe
Not Just for Kentucky Derby Pecan Pie
Ingredients
| 1 | cup sugar |
| ½ | cup all-purpose flour |
| 2 | eggs, slightly beaten |
| 1 | stick salted butter, melted and cooled |
| 1 | tablespoon vanilla extract |
| 2 | tablespoons Bourbon |
| 1 | cup pecan halves |
| 1 | cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
| 1 | 9-inch frozen pie crust (still frozen)* |
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF.
2. In a large bowl mix together the sugar and flour with a whisk. Add in the beaten eggs, butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything briskly until the batter is smooth and creamy.
3. Pour in the pecans and chocolate chips and stir them into the batter carefully so that nothing gets broken. Pour the batter into the pie crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Bake the pie for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is set and the center no longer jiggles when shaken. A cake tester should come out clean.
*If the pie crust is thawed bake the pie for about 40 to 45 minutes.
Naptime Notes
Naptime Recipe Serving ideas
It is simply a must that this pie should be served with whipped cream or ice cream. And, of course, a nip of bourbon, neat, on the side never hurts either.

Naptime Reviews
I brought home an empty pie plate from mom’s night out. My mother reports similar results when she used to serve it at her Cooperstown dinner parties.
