How to Make Tarte Au Sucre Francaise French Canadian Sugar Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar and 1 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms.
  5. Place a baking sheet on the oven rack below your pie to catch any spills.
  6. Pour the batter into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  7. Dot the top of the filling with 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set fully.
  10. Serve chilled, topped with your favorite accompaniment – whipped cream or vanilla ice cream are perfect!
