Pie Recipes

My dad could fix one of best Kentucky Derby Pie you could taste. There was one problem he would not share his recipe with no one, and I begged for years. He would joke around and told me it was going to the grave. Then one day my mom ran into this recipe while cleaning. Then the recipe got shared, and I baked a pie and shared it. I think dad was a little cracked. So here is dad's Kentucky Derby Pie recipe:

1/2 c. salted butter melted
2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1 c. flour (self rising)
1 cup semi-sweet bite size chocolate chips
1 1/2 c. chopped pecans chopped
2 tlbs. or 1 oz. Southern Comfront Bourbon
1 unbaked pie shell

In a large bowl let melted butter cool, and beat in your eggs. Then stir in your sugar, flour and mix well. The next step is to fold in your chocolate, pecans, and bourbon. Then pour mixture into unbaked pie shell. Bake for 30 minutes or until it sets. Suggestions use a Pillsbury frozen pie shell and paint it with buttermilk. Let the pie shell set for a moment, and it will taste like it's homemade. There's a story I'll share with you folks another day concerning pie crusts. I hope y'all enjoy this pie as much as I have.
I was visiting St. Louis many "years ago" with some college friends , and we stopped in an old restaurant downtown. I had a piece of chocolate buttermilk pie. It was so good that I asked the owner, if he would share the recipe. I was shocked the owner give me the recipe, and I have enjoyed it for 20+ years. So here is the recipe for chocolate buttermilk pie.

1 pre made pie shell/ Pillsbury
1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
7 eggs
1 c. of buttermilk
3 c. of sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

In a double boiler melt chocolate chips, and watch closely not to burn. In another mixing bowl combine all ingredents and blend together. Then pour in the melted chocolate into the mixture and fold. The next step is pour into the pie shell. Then bake pie at 350 degrees for hour. Remove the pie from oven and let cool off, then refrigate for afew hours. I usually use fresh whip cream, ( 1 c. of heavy whipping cream, 1/2 c. sugar, and tsp. vanilla whip mixture till it's firm.). I hope you enjoy these pies and as usually y'all come back to visit.
