We are close to the finish line of the #AprilAtoZChallenge. Planning ahead and writing a lot on the weekends has made this year's challenge easier to handle. I'm already thinking about what I want to write about in April 2022! Today is V -- V is for Very Easy Tollhouse Pie. What food or recipe do you immediately think of that begins with "V"?
Very Easy Tollhouse Pie
Recipe is for 1 pie but I always double and make 2
Ingredients:
1 pie crust - can be frozen (thawed) deep dish or you can use Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust
1 stick butter (I use Land O' Lakes - if you've been following along A-Z, you know I like Land O' Lakes)
1/2 cup sugar (granulated white)
1/2 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
2 eggs (I use jumbo)
1/2 cup self rising flour (I use White Lily)
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Melt butter in microwave - I use a large microwave safe glass mixing bowl
Stir in sugars (I use my trusty wooden spoon)
Stir well
Add 2 jumbo eggs - stir well
Add 1/2 cup self rising flour - stir (don't stir too hard at this point - you don't want pie to be tough)
Fold in chocolate chips and nuts (if desired)
Pour into pie crust and bake 1 hour. After 1 hour, stick a toothpick in the middle. When you pull out toothpick if pie is still "goopy" cook another 10 minutes.
Like I said, I always double this recipe and divide between two pies. I've made this pie as a "birthday present" and I've made it for neighbors and I've served it to our supper club. This pie is great served with a spritz of whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top.
