Sugar Pie
This recipe came to The Times in a 1991 profile of Laurent Comeau, the kitchen manager of Cirque du Soleil. In his role managing the meals of the performers, he often had to scramble to find ingredients like Canadian maple syrup for the Québécois in the troupe, who expected it on or in everything from pancakes to maple mousse pie. Mr. Comeau thought Vermont maple syrup is just as good, "but try explaining it to them," he said. "The contortionists, it's like wine to them. They'll taste it and know right away if it's not from Quebec." This sugar pie, sweetened with brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk, tastes like pure butterscotch.
