Name: Bourbon Walnut Pie
Yield: Makes 8 to 10 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups all purpose flour; 1 teaspoon sugar; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces; 1 large egg; 1 tablespoon milk; 1 cup dark corn syrup; 1/2 cup sugar; 3 large eggs; 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted; 2 tablespoons bourbon; 1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup chopped walnuts (about 3 ounces); 3/4 cup walnut halves (about 3 ounces)

"I had lunch at a historic spot in Berryville, Virginia, called the Battletown Inn," says Judy Owens of Round Hill Virginia. "For dessert, I ordered bourbon walnut pie. If chef Robin Smith would share her recipe, I know that baking the pie during the holidays would become a family tradition."

The sweetness of the filling is offset nicely by the bourbon. Serve the dessert with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
