Black walnuts are abundant here in the Ozarks. My aunt gave me this walnut pie and I think it's one of the best pies I've ever tasted. —Helen Holbrook, De Soto, Missouri

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup chopped black walnuts

Directions

  1. Combine 1 tablespoon sugar and flour. Sprinkle into the pastry shell; set aside.
