                         Pastry for 2-crust pie
    1      c             maple syrup
      1/2  c             water
    3      tbsp          cornstarch
    2      tbsp          cold water
      1/4  c             nuts -- chopped
 
 Boil the maple syrup and 1/2 cup of water for 5 minutes. Blend the
 cornstarch with the 2 tablespoons of water and add to the syrup. Cook,
 stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and transparent. Add the
 butter and chopped nuts and let it cool. Bake between two crusts at 400
 degrees F for 25-30 minutes.

 NOTES : Of all the maple syrup pies I've made, none was ever as good as
 this one. The recipe dates from Colonial days when crushed wheat was used
 to thicken the mixture.
 
 Lei’s Notes:  This book had a mis-print in this recipe, as no quantity of
 maple syrup was listed...in fact the whole ingredient was missing. I'm
 guessing here on the 1 cup of maple syrup based on the Creamy Maple Syrup
 Pie, which contains 1 cup.
