Recipes...per request

These are some Derby Pie recipes at the request of Kathy...hello to you and all my St. Louis blog friends!

Derby Pie
1 9 in.  pie shell, uncooked
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter, melted
6 ounces chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine eggs, sugar, flour, and butter.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Pour into pie shell.  Bake 45 minutes at 350 degrees.  Serves 8.  {You better eat it warm and with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream...just sayin'.}  I usually double this recipe, because there is only one thing better than Derby Pie, and that is 2 Derby Pies.  :)

Corrie's Kentucky Pie  (Paula Deen)  (see pics in post below)
4 eggs. lightly beaten
2 cups sugar
12 oz. semisweet choc. chips, melted
1 cup sifted self-rising flour
2 sticks butter, melted
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups chopped pecans
2-9 in.  unbaked pie shells

(As you can see, Paula has already doubled this for ya!) 

Preheat to 350 degrees
Combine eggs, sugar, and melted chocolate in large bowl.  Add flour and mix well; stir in remaining ingredients except for pie shells.  Spread mixture into pie shells.  Bake for 30-40 minutes.  Serve warm with ice cream.  Freezes well. 

There you go!  I am surprised at the difference that melting the chocolate does...you will have to try both and tell me which you prefer!
