Welcome to the bake along series and introduce the recipe for sugar pie.

Prepare the pie dough pastry base by rolling and trimming it.

Roll out the pie dough to just under 1/4 inch thick, flipping it to seal cracks as needed.

Fit the rolled dough into a glass pie plate, ensuring it relaxes into the edges to prevent shrinking.

Trim excess dough and tuck it under, pinching the edges to secure the pastry.

Chill the pie shell in the fridge while preparing the filling.

Whisk together a little bit of flour and a touch of salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk 2 whole eggs and 1 egg yolk together with a fork, adding vanilla extract.

Bring 375 ml of pure maple syrup to a boil in a heat-proof metal bowl.

Set a timer for 2 minutes once boiling, or check with a thermometer for 225°F.

Add unsalted butter to the boiling maple syrup and let it melt, returning to a boil.

Combine the buttered maple syrup with the egg mixture, straining if necessary to remove flour specks.

Pour the filling into the chilled pie shell, placing it on a baking tray to catch drips.

Bake the pie until set and golden.
