Tarte Au Sucre

1. Begin by preheating the oven at 350° F.
2. In a mixing bowl add brown sugar and flour and mix the two together.
3. In a different bowl, add milk, eggs, and vanilla, and whisk them together. Gradually add flour mixture and keep whisking.
4. Next, place pie crusts on cookie sheets and fill the crusts with the prepared mix.
5. Drizzle the cold butter cubes in the mixture and place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven. Allow Tarte Au Sucre to bake for 45-50 minutes or until the edges are firm and the center is pudding/jelly-like.
6. Remove from the oven, and let the Tarte Au Sucre cool before placing it in the refrigerator. It is necessary to cool it in order to set the filling firm.
7. Serve cold with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!

Trivia:

• Between 1806 and 1808, a trade block imposed by Napoleon Bonaparte cut off the sugar supply to France. As a result, the French begin to extract sugar from sugar beet.  

Today, France dominates sugar beet production.
