1 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. maple syrup
2 large eggs

Add in:
1 1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 c. rolled oats (not instant)

Maple Dumplings

1/4 Cup Milk
1 tsp. Salt
1 Egg
1 Cup Flour
1 tsp. baking powder

Beat egg and milk together in a small bowl, stir in the dry ingredients. In a 2 quart saucepan bring a pint or more of medium grade A maple syrup to a boil. Drop dough by large tablespoons into the boiling syrup.

Cook two minutes. Turn dough frequently during cooking. Cook over medium heat. If syrup gets too thick before dumplings are done add more maple syrup or water. Cook only two or three at a time.
 

Maple Cream Pie

Ingredients:
1 cooked pie crust
Combine in a microwave dish:
2 1/4 cups milk
2 cups Grade B maple syrup
3 egg yolks, beaten
4 heaping Tbs Flour
1 dash of salt

Directions:
Mix well and microwave on high stirring every five minutes. I do 2-five minute settings, followed by 2 minutes.

Add 2 tsp vanilla and stir.

Put pudding in pie crust. I like to make a meringue with the egg whites. Beat them with 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp cream of tartar. Gradually add 6 Tbs of sugar while beating to stiff and glossy peaks. Spread over hot filling and bake 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes

Cool the pie, cover and store in fridge.
