 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         Pastry of your choice
      1/2  tsp           soda
      1/4  tsp           vanilla
    1 1/2  c             maple syrup
    1      c             all-purpose flour
    1      c             dark brown sugar
           pinch         nutmeg
      1/3  c             butter
 
 Line a 9" pie plate with pastry. Stir soda and vanilla into syrup and pour
 into pastry. Blend remaining ingredients with your fingertips until mixture
 is crumbly, then spread over syrup. Place a piece of foil under pan,
 because the pie often bubbles over. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes
 and let cool -- it is best cold.

 NOTES : Every summer, requests pour in for this sugary, yet creamy pie.
 People who travel, eat it in restaurants, then look for the recipe -- which
 is almost as old as Canada. The following is made the way grand'mere taught
 me, though there are all kinds of recipes.
