KENTUCKY PEGASUS PIE 
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup English Pecans or Walnuts
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 tsp. vanilla

Rev up that mixer, don your derby cap and get baking! This simple-to-prepare pie is a tradition that has long been associated with the Famous Kentucky Derby Horse Race. A "Pegasus" parade takes place in Kentucky around the time of the Kentucky Derby. This home-made version can't be found in any store!

Mix sugar and flour, add eggs; add butter. Add nuts, chocolate chips, and vanilla. Pour into an unbaked pie shell.

Bake at 350°F degrees for 30 minutes. Test with a toothpick. Pie should be chewy, but not runny.
