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.

The first stethoscope

By
René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note First Impressions

By
Lenovo has kicked off 2016 with the new Vibe K4 Note smartphone. Those familiar with Lenovo's Note series might get puzzled with the addition of the Vibe moniker to the name, especially given the success of Lenovo K3 Note last year. Head of Product and Marketing at Lenovo Smartphones in India, Anuj Sharma, clarified that the new K4 Note has been integrated with the Vibe series of smartphones. While we are not sure if this has anything to do with the rumours that Lenovo may discontinue its Vibe range to prevent cannibalisation of Motorola sales, Sharma yet again asserted "Vibe" range is not going anywhere .
