Hubby and I used to go to the Kentucky Derby every year. What a special and fun event it is! I always looked forward to seeing beautiful Churchill Downs, and the magnificent horses! I loved buying dresses and HATS to wear to the events! We used to stay at the Seelbach Hotel downtown, an old Louisville hotel that has been renovated. Derby Pie was served everywhere you went. This recipe is from the Junior League of Owensboro, Kentucky cookbook. Enjoy Derby Day, and good luck if you have picked a favorite horse to win the special event!

6 TBS sugar
2 TBS brown sugar

ReplyDeletei love derby pie and haven't made it in a long time! Once I made it for some guests and they thought it was too rich. Nothing is ever too rich or sweet for me!!!
