Bourbon Pecan Pie with Whipped Cream

By
 Bourbon Pecan Pie.

Ingredients
    • 1 disk Buttery Pastry Dough
    • 3/4 sticks (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter
    • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
    • 2/3 cup honey
    • 1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
    • 3 tablespoons bourbon
    • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 3 large eggs, room temperature
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 2 cups pecan halves and pieces, toasted, coarsely chopped
    • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
Preparation
To make the crust:
Roll out the dough (recipe here) between two sheets of baking paper, rotating it as needed, until it is about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough in a 9-inch-diameter pie dish that is 1 1/2-inches deep. Lightly press the dough into the bottom corners and sides of the dish. Trim the dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Fold the overhang under and crimp the edge. Freeze for 30 minutes, or until firm.
Position one rack in the lowest position in the oven then preheat the oven to 375 degree F. Line the frozen crust with parchment paper, leaving an overhang, and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Remove the beans and paper and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom is pale golden. If the crust begins to puff, gently prick with a fork to allow any steam to escape.
Meanwhile, to make the pie:
In a saucepan, stir the butter over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the brown sugar, honey, molasses, bourbon, vanilla, and salt and whisk for 30 seconds. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs to blend. Slowly whisk the honey mixture into the eggs. Stir in the pecans.
Decrease the oven temperature to 275 degree F. Pour the warm pecan mixture into the hot pie crust. Bake on the bottom rack for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles but is not liquid. Cool completely on a rack.
To serve:
Cut the pie into wedges. Top with whipped cream and serve.
Make Ahead:
The pie can be made up to 1 day ahead, covered and kept at room temperature.

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

By
This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...

iPad Pro Review

By
The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant. ( Also see : iPad Air 2 Review: Still the King of Tablets ) But if the iPad Pro is nearly twice the price of the iPad Air 2, then it's also giving you a lot more, aside...
