    Good morning everyone! Breakfast is apple scones. Don’t judge my shapes, geometry on paper is easier than on dough!

      Trust me on this. You really want this pie. Of course, the authentic one has bourbon in it, but I found this one in an old, old church cookbook and have used it many years. My family inhales this. Make fresh whipped cream, maybe put a teensy touch of bourbon in that. I am generally discouraged from coming to our huge family Thanksgiving dinner unless I bring these pies.

      Derby Pie
      1 stick butter
      1 package chocolate chips (smallest package)
      1/2 cup self rising flour
      1 cup sugar
      2 eggs well beaten
      1 tsp vanilla
      1/2 cup chopped pecans
      Deep dish pie crust

      Pour choc chips into bottom of pie crust. Melt butter and add to flour and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and nuts. Pour over choc chips and bake at 350 degrees 40-50 minutes. Note about baking time: it varies according to your oven. If you cook the pie just the way I like it, it has a melty caramel center. A little more done and it is like a big chocolate chip cookie. Best cooled completely. Not good hot or warm, believe it or not. Great with cool whip! Or better yet, fresh made whipped cream.

        What’s wrong with a big bag of chocolate chips? 😉

          Not a thing, but you want room for a chocolate layer on bottom, which cools and hardens, making it more delicious. Then, if you get the cooking time right, a layer of creamy caramel, then a thin crusty top. Each layer has its own flavor contribution into a delicious whole pie. You don’t wanna crowd out another!

      Good mornin’, czarina! So much to choose from! Definitely going for the truffles and the ponies. Probably a few others as well. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.
