What a long strange trip it’s been, this Road to the Kentucky Derby. Thinking back to last September, how many times have we changed our minds, or might there be a few who had an inkling from foaling season? I’ve had an fascinating but indecisive path myself however, I have finally come to some determinations. This is what I know about the 144th running of the Kentucky Derby and I would love to share it with you.
Chef Horseradish knows how to make you the hostess with the mostest for your Kentucky Derby bash! He’s whipped up a tasty desert that is quite similar to the pie associated with the Kentucky Derby. Horseradish has a recipe with 8 simple ingredients that can be put together and baked in under an hour. No matter where you watch the KY Derby, everyone wins with this pie. Let’s see how he does it.
Bake the pie and…
Churchill’s Big Race Pie
ingredients:
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 slightly beaten eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
9 inch frozen pie crust
Mix in order given. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Cover edges of crust with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more minutes. Cool before serving.
I wish everyone of you a great Kentucky Derby day and I hope you might enjoy some of this pie. Please, check back soon for more posts on The Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby.
Happy Friday the 13th! I am tickled to think of all the peculiar betting habits and quirks I will see among the superstitious gamblers and horsemen at Keeneland today! Everyday is a good day at the track but tomorrow we will see the very last lap on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. Saturday, 4/14/18 features the final two prep races, the Lexington Stakes and the Arkansas Derby.
It’s a double Derby weekend! Louisiana has one, New Mexico has one and in just over a month, Kentucky has the Derby to top all derbies! We are really entering the final stretch as two of the last 10 KY Derby prep races take place this weekend. Derby, Derby, everywhere a Derby!
