1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup lard, chilled
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tbsp water
1/4 tsp vinegar
1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate
3 tbsp butter
3/4 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp rum
1 1/4 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Mix the salt into the flour and cut in the lard. Measure out 1
tablespoon of the beaten eggs into a small bowl and reserve the
remaining eggs. Add the water and vinegar to the bowl and stir.
Slowly add the liquid to the flour and lard, just until the mixture
holds together to form a dough. Lightly flour a work surface and
rolling pin and roll the dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit it into a
9-inch pie pan and refrigerate it if you plan to finish the pie after
several hours, or freeze it if you are completing the recipe at this
point. This will prevent shrinkage. Melt the chocolate and butter
together in a heavy saucepan. Set aside and allow to cool. Stir the
corn syrup and sugar into the reserved eggs. Add the chocolate and
butter, vanilla, rum and the pecans. Mix well and pour into the pie
shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until set. The
filling will rise and then fall. Remove from the oven and cool on a
rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Servings: 1 pie

The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, mostly, these old recipes were just primitive pictorial instructions for food preparation.
As our culinary historical trip moves on a few more years there are a couple of interesting cookery books which were published in the 14th Century ; a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Don`t be fooled by the titles though, they are not about the indian curry that we all know today, but rather recipes for the types of food enjoyed by the nobility of the period. By the arrival of the 20th century, cooking books were increasing in popularity mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and a general increase in wealth. |
