Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 15 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 200 grams Chopped walnuts
- 120 ml Molasses
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 60 ml Light corn syrup
- 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
To prepare the crust, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently after each addition, until the dough comes together.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges as desired.
In a large bowl, whisk together the molasses, brown sugar, light corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the chopped walnuts until evenly incorporated.
Pour the filling mixture into the prepared crust.
Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
Let the pie cool completely at room temperature before slicing and serving.
