When I was a little girl, my mama worked as a waitress at a diner/lunch counter in downtown Cincinnati, OH. She ate a piece of this pie with her lunch one day and went bonkers. The nice Jewish lady that she worked for scribbled down the recipe and I have it to this day. It truly is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Pie Baking Tip: If you want to use aluminum foil to prevent the crust from overbrowning, just take a piece of foil, cover the pie entirely and secure it over the edges. Then take scissors and cut the foil in a circle around the inside edge. It stays on so much better than using strips! Uses less foil than making strips and you can just throw it away after -- one less item to clean. 😊
I was so thankful to see that you had put this recipe on RUclips. I was the clinic nurse for the chief of medicine at Vanderbilt medical center before I retired. We had a nurse that lived in Kentucky and drove to Vanderbilt to work in our clinic. Every year when it was time for Kentucky Derby she would bring a bunch of Derby pies and let me tell you they went as fast as we could inhale them. They are wonderful and I’ve always wished that I would have written that recipe down and now I have it thanks to you. 😊
Thank you for sharing this recipe. First time viewers in Ohio. We're originally from Kentucky (me) and South Carolina (husband). We had a "Derby" tradition with my Mom. If we'd had this recipe then I'd have made it to celebrate the Derby!
That was a sweet gesture. Like this channel already because I like these people! Their manner seems so genuine! Enjoyed this video very much. Keep 'em coming!
I would love for you to have some vegetarian recipes on your show. I watch your show 2 to 3 times a day. Your wife is very lucky to have a husband that does so much cooking. Blessings to you both. Justine Newkirk
The fact that you actually scrape the bowls and utensils got you an instant sub from me. I can't stand waste, so it grinds my gears when I see people cook/bake, leaving a ton behind. Going to make this next week 😊 Thank you!!
I feel the exact same way and it drives me crazy. I got it from my mom. She never wasted those bits. The other thing I got from my mom is I don't understand why everybody always calls it a spatula when it's a rubber scraper. 😂
My mom was given this recipe and made it for the family on Derby Day circa 1978. It was such a treat, we made it over and over again. It is a big hit still after all these years when it's made and shared with friends. I know the recipe by heart I've been asked for it so many times.
I think Tom has such a way with teaching this cooking channel he really takes his time but yet he gets right to the point and they're not hard. I really enjoy watching them. Watching from Michigan
Thanks for this. Originally the pie fell into the classification of "Chess Pie" known as a very sweet pie that was offered up to travelers in the Kentucky area. Variations include rum soaked raisins instead of the chocolate pieces and also a meringue topping. Always a delight !
Cathie I see no reason why you couldn't exchange the sugars. Today's taste for sugar is nothing like it was years ago. I actually had to cut back on the sugar a bit for my taste. You'll find that this pie will be a favorite ! Should also mention that you can vary the nuts as well. @@cathiestarnes4812
Just found your channel and I’m so pleased. I love the way you show the ingredients needed and write the recipe as well. You’re a pleasure to watch and I love your recipes. Thank you so much.
I worked in a restaurant in Illinois back in the 80's and we had a pie almost identical to this but it had bourbon in it as well. We'd serve it with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. It was great!
I loved how you shared this recipe! I’m a baker, and I never heard of Kentucky Derby Pie before! This looks like a keeper and I can’t wait to make it for my family and friends. It looked so caramelized, it reminded me of a Pecan Pie which we love. Thank you so much and I loved how you wasted nothing. You did a great job!
I liked that you shared the flour on the nuts and chips but I also liked that you measured with the pie server for people who are new to serving up a good pie.Thank you Melissa good camera work. To your chef!
I know this is an oxymoron, but such simple decadence like this is truly a thing of beauty. I will try this recipe soon. What a wonderful dessert to have whether it's after a sunny day at the Derby or on a rainy day after a comforting meal. Thank you so much! I am saving this to my "Yum" folder so I can watch it again and bake one along with y'all! 😃😃😃
My husband and I lived in Louisville for 20 years and were never able to attend the Derby. BUT I have made several different variations of Derby pie. This one is hands down the best! We just, in the last 3 months moved to Tennessee and I now have been on the hunt for the best Derby pie! Woohoo!!!🎉🎉🎉 Hands down THE best one! Thank you!!!😊
Although the Kentucky Derby has long passed, I think I'm going to make this pie this weekend. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us here on RUclips!
@@randeebecker2455 I go overboard but I filled a quart jug with Maker's Mark and added thirty-four vanilla beans. That is what I call turbo vanilla, you really only need a dozen or so. Let it sit in a cool dark place for about a year, someplace accessible so you can give it a good shake now and then, and you're ready to go. One other note; I do split half my vanilla beans. Keeping the rest whole, after I've used a few tablespoons of this liquid gold, I just top the jar off with more bourbon. This is a perpetual vanilla extract as you will never have to buy another bottle of vanilla again.
Good for you! I have to say I was a bit shocked at the imitation vanilla he used (vastly inferior to the real thing) and I have to say that, yes, I do like the Pillsbury Pie Crusts but if he believes it's better than homemade, I need to take a good look at the recipe he used to use. But, yes, my homemade bourbon vanilla extract is one of the jewels in my kitchen so I'm right there with you on that!
I have been making homemade vanilla extract for years and it is so easy. Mine is vodka and grade B beans. As l use it, l add the same amount of vodka back to the bottle.
My mouth was watering for that bit of pie that you gave your wife. I just knew it was going pass her and come through the phone, I had my mouth open ready for the bite of pie. Lol God bless you guys.✝️🍰
Love how you show all the ingredients and measurements. I also like watching how you make the filling. I’m left handed and am a visual person. You make easier by showing each step to make the pie. Thank you!
Lefties rule and I know most are visual learners…like me. 😊 Funny thing is…Tom looks so much like my like little brother 😂…even my hubby agreed. These two are a darling couple and I’ve enjoyed watching them so much. My youngest sister and her husband died 😢 just few months ago from a horrible accident. I’ve been amazed how much their simple and fun cooking has lifted my spirits. ❤. Thank you…thank you for all the goodness you share. Bless you both. 🙏😎🤗
Wonderful looking pie! I learned something new from you on pie making and that was to dust the pecans and chips with flour. Great tip! Thanks for sharing your great recipes.
Obvious to all but the most novice cooks, but your instructions say the toss the pecans and nuts with flour. Should be corrected to nuts and chocolate chips.
I predict that one day you will have your own cooking show on the food network. You do such a great job and you look like you are comfortable in front of the camera .
What separates you from the other recipe channels out there is That I love is you Make sure you put all the ingredients in You don't waste any of the ingredients. Plus you have some very unique recipes I'm glad I found you channel Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching 👍❤️
Ok I had to improvise here in California .Instead of Vanilla extract,I used almond extract .Instead of dark chocolate I used white plus I added dried cranberries and sweetened condensed milk with my margarine brown sugar and finally walnuts instead of Pecans . OMG its amazing . I call it "Hollywood Park pie" from California inspired by Your Kentucky Derby Pie.Tomorrow Ill check in when I can get to the store that has all the original ingredients .Taste test competition tomorrow .Thank you two !!!!! From California .
I'm from Louisville Kentucky, now living in Florida and I'm going to make this for my future in laws (From NY) for Thanksgiving, with down home pride!! Thanks guys!! 😁
I love the pie crusts in the refrigerated section. I'm so glad you endorse using them and think they are as good as homemade. I, for years, did them from scratch but found the refrigerated or frozen shells saved time so I could devote more effort to the filling. ❤
My mother has made this pie, using an identical recipe, at Thanksgiving for at least 30 years. I started making it myself this year and have used brown sugar instead of white sugar. It's so good.
I love KY Derby Pie. I’ve made it since the late 70’s. One difference though, the way I’ve been told, is the pie you made is a DERBY PIE, to be a KENTUCKY DERBY PIE, you soak the pecans in one half cup of good Kentucky Bourbon. Either way it’s a great pie, and I’ve made it both ways. Being from KY & the Bible Belt, you don’t want to take the one with bourbon to a Baptist Church Social……….love that you are from Mt. Sterling, I’m from Ashland.
Oh my! This is my first visit to your channel, and what a visit it was. I MUST make this pie immediately! Thanks for sharing the recipe! By the way, I thought the crimping job you did on the crust was lovely. ☺️
Tell you something, this is not a pie you can get anywhere, yet Kentucky Derby Pie is a thing. My mouth actually watered, and I never had it! I will be making this. Wonderful video. Simple, right to the point and I have to say, you have got one of the most proper gentlemanly Southern accents,.....and that's coming from a NY Brooklynite.....lol. TY
Woo hoo,I had been wanting this recipe for years. Thank you so much. I used to get a slice of this pie at a restaurant when they had it. Its a yummy pie.❤
Kentucky girl here... My mom used to make this pie all the time when I was a kid. I live in Tennessee now and I want to make it for a work potluck for this Friday (and the Derby is Saturday, so I knew I had to make one and show my coworkers how we Kentuckians do things)... But my Mom can't find her recipe!!! Ahhh!! How does that even happen?!?! Lol... but You're coming through for me, Dude!! Much appreciation! Happy Derby 2024!
This has got to be one of the best cooking videos I have ever watched. I stumbled across youtube tonight and straight into your kitchen! What an awesome surprise! I have to tell you, my mouth watered while watching you taste that pie at the end. Haha! What a simple recipe but Oh so good, I'm sure! Thank you both for sharing. I look forward to spending more time in your kitchen. Greetings from East Tennessee...
Lightly sprinkle flour on bottom of pie crust Before adding filling A friend who makes lots of pies taught me that. I have 2 of your derby pies in oven right now. I’m excited to try Thanks for sharing God Bless
30 years ago a coworker brought this pie to a party and I absolutely fell in love with it. He share the recipe with me then, but I lost it. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely making it soon. 😊😍
Holy Smokes!! I could literally taste this pie. I reminds me of home made chocolate chip cookies without the brown sugar. I always make toll house cookies for our family camping trips but I’m thinking I should surprise everyone with this pie on our next trip. I just subscribed and thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried it out and my husband, quite the pie connoisseur, said that Kentucky Derby pie is now his second favorite pie. Nothing but cherry will be in first place. Ever. But we all enjoyed this recipe immensely. Thanks again.
Thank you for another great recipe. As an Australian, I have not heard of this pie before and am glad you described it in such detail. I shall try it soon!
A Derby Pie is one of my favs, too. But I have always used a recipe that includes corn syrup & then the other ingredients minus the flour. However, if it is baked too long it can be hard (pecans like candy). I am really excited to try your recipe, you made it SO easily & it looks DELICIOUS! Thank you!
Hello, so over here in Canada we do not have any sort of Derby let alone a Kentucky derby., but you caught my attention with pie! Pie oh my everyone loves pie. My absolute favourite part of your video is when you gave the first bite to your wife. Literally brought tears to my eyes. I loved that!! You two are adorable. I will definitely try your pie it looks delicious. Have a delicious Derby. Lol.
I really like watching your videos and hearing about where the recipes came from. Thank you for spending time with me and God bless you both. Happy New Years 🎉❤
Nice to meet you! As a West Coast Gal, this pie is new to me, but since it's made with all good stuff, I'm sure it's undoubtedly delicious! I was pleasantly surprised how it rose in the crust and didn't at all look like you should have added another 50%! Although my cooking for our family excludes white flour and white sugar, Ive learned to find alternatives. I'll look forward to seeing what other deliciousness us served at your table... or counter!!! Thanks for the invite! Stay safe, Be blessed, Give thanks!
Wow, I'm so glad I found your channel! My husband actually found you and showed me. We love how you explain everything and lay all your ingredients out. I'm going to make this pie tomorrow! I've checked out all of your recipes and have to say, I've going to try and make them all. Thank you so much!
I absolutely be lost without your videos I been cooking since I was 11, now I’m 63, You and Melissa been a great joy in my life! Cooking is a part of me! BTW love your shirt! One day I will send recipes to ya all, keep up the endless videos I look forward to these beautiful down to earth folks and videos! Ty again! Until next video!
You both are so sweet!! Thanks for inviting us into your lovely kitchen. I cannot wait to try this recipe. Pecan pie is my favorite and adding chocolate chips is the icing on the cake. No wait the cherry on top. 😊 😉 May God bless and keep you both!! 🙏
All I needed to hear was you have been making this pie for 40 years and I was sold. I love Kentucky, my first duty station was at Fort Knox and consider it my second home. I appreciate this recipe and can't wait to make this at home! So glad I found this channel and can't wait to see what else you guys share. Have a blessed day!
Thank you for this recipe, I have been trying to find these in the stores around Derby time. I almost ordered them, but seeing this video just saved me a lot of money❤
You can definitely make your own cheaper than most places will charge to make it for you. Tip: I love to warm a slice up in the microwave for a few seconds before I eat it. So good! Thanks so much for watching.
I just pulled this out of the oven. Can’t wait to taste it. Your videos are very well done. I like how you lay out the ingredients and make it simple to understand. We have been enjoying your videos. Thank you!!
I really enjoy your videos! I'm sure you were one of the most favorite teachers at the school where you taught. You seem to be a very kind and caring person. Melissa is blessed having such a good husband 💕 She is sweet to share her comments and it's fun to listen to the both of you as you work together ❤️. God bless you and best wishes for your channel to grow and keep blessing others!
That looks absolutely delicious! You guys are great people with kindness in your makeup.❤ Tom, your clear and concise directions are perfect for a kinesthetic learner like me. It's almost as if I was there. Thank you.
I love the typed instructions, and I’ve almost stopped looking at any recipe that asks you to click on another site. The DIRECTIONS are as important as the recipe itself! 😂❤ I’ll be back. You remind me of my husband and I busy in the kitchen making something good!
@@comesitatmytable9044 That's funny because pecans actually float to the top of a pecan pie!🤔 And you really didn't add any salt to balance the flavors?🤔
The description recipe is great for when I make the dish. The video is great for visuals, tips, tricks and enjoyment. This looks delicious. Have a favorite horse in this year’s Derby?
We did watch the derby but we aren’t very “schooled” in horse racing. We never have any hot tips. I usually go with one that has a name I like. Great way to bet, I know! 🤪
I am excited to make and try this pie! When I was growing up, my favorite pie was Egg Custard pie (and still is). It's hard to find in a restaurant though and I need to learn to make it! :) I am enjoying your recipes ! Thanks for all you and your wife do to make it possible!
O M G.... that pie looks soo yummy. I will definitely be making it for me and my family. But I will njoy the first piece 😁 I am grateful for your channel. And for you and your wife, showing; teaching all the delicious recipes you make. Thank you all the way from Colorado.
❤ I fixed this two nights ago. The three of us ABSOLUTELY loved it. I'm so glad I found your channel. I plan to make the Kool Aid pie tomorrow and the Chicken and Dumpling Casserole later next week 😊
The Kool aid pie is delicious I've been making for my family for more than ten years. Many years ago long b4 I retired a lady make one, brought it to work & shared it with us, but would not share the recipe. So I made it from taste at first I add a pkg of room temperature cream cheese to my can of condensed milk. It was really good, but whenever I made it at other for one of my coworkers I omitted the cream cheese, cause she didn't like the cream cheese. I just found this channel & immediately became a fan & subscriber😉
I just discovered your videos recently, and I have saved almost every one I have seen. I love your choices, and Tom you are so easy to watch and follow. Melissa, I appreciate that you put the recipe in the video. Thank you both. By the way, this pie looks incredible. ❤
Hi Tom & Melissa! I will have to make this pie for some friends! I don’t usually eat rich foods like this, but splurge every now & again. Tom, what made me laugh & what I liked is that you got EVERY DROP of butter, not wasting anything! I cringe when people leave half of the ingredients in bowls, or else scrape them off camera. I always feel they are throwing food away or their recipe is not right, because the don’t add 100% of the ingredients to the mixing bowl. Thank You! I didn’t cringe, but laughed out loud instead and felt good watching you put it together. Also, I am left handed too. All my life we were told that left handed people were more artistic and very creative, and you seem to be the same. I am you guys age, and love to cook, so thank you for sharing. And, how did this pie get it’s name? Was it ever served at the races?
I have everything I need including the pie crust and this looks so awesome. I think I’m going to bake it even tonight. Thank you all for so many delicious and wonderful recipes. But also I want to thank you all for being such a wonderful host and hostess. ❤❤❤❤ you know I am not the only one that loves you all we all do
Like your shirt 😀 can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you and Melissa for sharing these delicious recipes. At 62 I'm finally getting to dabble with culinary and have tried many of your recipes and all have been amazing. Thanks Ron Combs Florida
Hi Tom & Melissa! Another hit out of the ballpark!! I'm making this today ..... yummo!! Wish you guys were a neighbor, I'd "come sit at your table"! Every recipe is a winner, and I've made every one you've posted. Yep, I'm a fan and telling my friends about your channel!! Keep the yummies coming!
We are overwhelmed that you’ve actually tried all of our recipes! That is incredible! We truly do appreciate your support and that you’ve shared our videos with people. How kind of you! You’ve made our day!

I like your video and the kidutuy drubbing pie❤ it looks so ezy to make
Your friend joan makowski
All you had to do was google the recipe online
What a sweet thing to say to everyone that they could come sit at your table! And what a gentleman to give your wife the first bite!

That’s how you tell a true home cook vs a “RUclips” cook. FINGERS, HANDS, what home cook doesn’t use their hands❣️
The fact that you actually scrape the bowls and utensils got you an instant sub from me. I can't stand waste, so it grinds my gears when I see people cook/bake, leaving a ton behind.
Going to make this next week 😊 Thank you!!
Awesome, thank you! We agree. Food is way too expensive to waste any.

She never wasted those bits.
The other thing I got from my mom is I don't understand why everybody always calls it a spatula when it's a rubber scraper. 😂
I agree! Love that you get every morsel!
Thanks - good video. Must try this. No calories - right!
Maybe it’s for licking as the pie bakes?
We love this pie with vanilla ice cream!

Chocolate bourbon pie...that's what the rest of the country calls derby pie
Oh I can literally taste that as I'm reading your comment. I bet it's absolutely delicious! Bourbon would take this over the top.
I came to comments to see if anyone used Bourbon. We called it Kentucky Bourbon Pie. My favorite
That sounds like great additions, I may have to try it both ways!!!
Thank you for this recipe. I do believe that using pure vanilla rather than imitation elevates this pie tremendously.

I love KY Derby Pie. I’ve made it since the late 70’s. One difference though, the way I’ve been told, is the pie you made is a DERBY PIE, to be a KENTUCKY DERBY PIE, you soak the pecans in one half cup of good Kentucky Bourbon. Either way it’s a great pie, and I’ve made it both ways. Being from KY & the Bible Belt, you don’t want to take the one with bourbon to a Baptist Church Social……….love that you are from Mt. Sterling, I’m from Ashland.
The pie crimping looks just amazing! Way better than a lot of other videos that I watch on pies
Just found you recently . Love watching. Just subscribed. 😊
I love pecan pie, and chocolate chip cookie dough, and this looks like a combo of both! Can't wait to try this! Thank you!
It is.
Oh my! This is my first visit to your channel, and what a visit it was. I MUST make this pie immediately! Thanks for sharing the recipe! By the way, I thought the crimping job you did on the crust was lovely. ☺️
I bought the scraper blade for my kitchenaid also. It's really a time saver.
Tell you something, this is not a pie you can get anywhere, yet Kentucky Derby Pie is a thing. My mouth actually watered, and I never had it!
I will be making this. Wonderful video. Simple, right to the point and I have to say, you have got one of the most proper gentlemanly Southern accents,.....and that's coming from a NY Brooklynite.....lol.
TY
Woo hoo,I had been wanting this recipe for years. Thank you so much. I used to get a slice of this pie at a restaurant when they had it. Its a yummy pie.❤
We agree! It really is a delicious pie. Thank you very much for watching our video.
I’m literally baking this pie rn. It smells amazing. Can’t wait to try it. I hope my family enjoys the surprise. 😄
Love this recipe! I’m a Ky. girl and I appreciate all your recipes! I love how you explain everything too!
I thank you so much for putting the recipes in the drop box.
Kentucky girl here... My mom used to make this pie all the time when I was a kid. I live in Tennessee now and I want to make it for a work potluck for this Friday (and the Derby is Saturday, so I knew I had to make one and show my coworkers how we Kentuckians do things)... But my Mom can't find her recipe!!! Ahhh!! How does that even happen?!?! Lol... but You're coming through for me, Dude!! Much appreciation! Happy Derby 2024!
This has got to be one of the best cooking videos I have ever watched. I stumbled across youtube tonight and straight into your kitchen! What an awesome surprise! I have to tell you, my mouth watered while watching you taste that pie at the end. Haha! What a simple recipe but Oh so good, I'm sure! Thank you both for sharing. I look forward to spending more time in your kitchen. Greetings from East Tennessee...
Oh my word....my sister fixed this and it was gone in a flash. Love all your videos.
Hey you’ve got plenty of time to restock before the derby on Saturday! 😊Thank you so much for watching!
This looks so good! Love the way you lay out and show all the ingredients before starting to cook. By the way,bet you were a great teacher!
Lightly sprinkle flour on bottom of pie crust
Before adding filling
A friend who makes lots of pies taught me that.
I have 2 of your derby pies in oven right now.
I’m excited to try
Thanks for sharing
God Bless
Why sprinkle flour?
@@adjustableisland8806 keeps from getting soggy
30 years ago a coworker brought this pie to a party and I absolutely fell in love with it. He share the recipe with me then, but I lost it. Thanks for sharing this. Definitely making it soon. 😊😍
Holy Smokes!! I could literally taste this pie. I reminds me of home made chocolate chip cookies without the brown sugar. I always make toll house cookies for our family camping trips but I’m thinking I should surprise everyone with this pie on our next trip. I just subscribed and thank you for sharing!
The Derby Pie looks so delicious. Thank You for sharing the recipe 😊👍❤️🥧
You are so welcome. We hope you enjoy it.
I love how down to earth you are! Now I don't feel bad about using my fingers to scrape the mixing blades. 😊
Yes! Every smidgeon!😂
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I tried it out and my husband, quite the pie connoisseur, said that Kentucky Derby pie is now his second favorite pie. Nothing but cherry will be in first place. Ever. But we all enjoyed this recipe immensely. Thanks again.
Thank you for another great recipe. As an Australian, I have not heard of this pie before and am glad you described it in such detail. I shall try it soon!
You guys are so sweet together! Its so nice to see especially in this day and age! Love the recipes! Thank you for taking the time to share with us!❤️
That looks so yummy, like a chocolate chip cookie in a pie! I can't wait to try this!
I thought that too! For all of us who love snitching a spoonful of cookie dough, this is a must!
A Derby Pie is one of my favs, too. But I have always used a recipe that includes corn syrup & then the other ingredients minus the flour. However, if it is baked too long it can be hard (pecans like candy). I am really excited to try your recipe, you made it SO easily & it looks DELICIOUS! Thank you!
Hello, so over here in Canada we do not have any sort of Derby let alone a Kentucky derby., but you caught my attention with pie! Pie oh my everyone loves pie. My absolute favourite part of your video is when you gave the first bite to your wife. Literally brought tears to my eyes. I loved that!! You two are adorable. I will definitely try your pie it looks delicious. Have a delicious Derby. Lol.
I really like watching your videos and hearing about where the recipes came from. Thank you for spending time with me and God bless you both. Happy New Years 🎉❤
Nice to meet you! As a West Coast Gal, this pie is new to me, but since it's made with all good stuff, I'm sure it's undoubtedly delicious! I was pleasantly surprised how it rose in the crust and didn't at all look like you should have added another 50%! Although my cooking for our family excludes white flour and white sugar, Ive learned to find alternatives. I'll look forward to seeing what other deliciousness us served at your table... or counter!!!
Thanks for the invite!
Stay safe, Be blessed, Give thanks!
I thought the same thing! The filling rose up really well. It didn’t look scant.
Wow, I'm so glad I found your channel! My husband actually found you and showed me. We love how you explain everything and lay all your ingredients out. I'm going to make this pie tomorrow! I've checked out all of your recipes and have to say, I've going to try and make them all. Thank you so much!
I think you did an awesome job fluting the edge of your pie crust. I think it's beautiful!
Thanks so much! 😊 We appreciate the nice comment!
I think he did a good job too, it looked great!!
Tom must be a perfectionist because that pie crust was "gorge"ous! 😍
I absolutely be lost without your videos I been cooking since I was 11, now I’m 63, You and Melissa been a great joy in my life! Cooking is a part of me! BTW love your shirt! One day I will send recipes to ya all, keep up the endless videos I look forward to these beautiful down to earth folks and videos! Ty again! Until next video!
We appreciate your kind comment. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We would love to receive your recipes, too!
I made this pie in the 80's from a recipe that I got from the Courier Journal. It was so rich and yummy. You guys do a great job
The pie looks so delicious 😊
Thank you for sharing your Derby Pie recipe. It looks easy to make and so delicious. I can’t wait to make it and share it with my family.
The pie looks amazing!!! Thank you for the video and the recipe ❤
Bravo . I could almost taste your pie. I will be sure to try it.
You both are so sweet!! Thanks for inviting us into your lovely kitchen. I cannot wait to try this recipe. Pecan pie is my favorite and adding chocolate chips is the icing on the cake. No wait the cherry on top. 😊 😉 May God bless and keep you both!! 🙏
Yum! That looks positively divine! Y’all have me about to run out to the store late at night for a pie crust!
I never had a pie like this. I love trying new things, and this looks like it would be easy enough for me to make. TYSM.
All I needed to hear was you have been making this pie for 40 years and I was sold. I love Kentucky, my first duty station was at Fort Knox and consider it my second home. I appreciate this recipe and can't wait to make this at home! So glad I found this channel and can't wait to see what else you guys share. Have a blessed day!
Welcome home! We love having you at our table. We have many videos so we hope you find some more recipes to enjoy!
This looks yummy! I love a time-tested recipe--will definitely make a note of increasing filling 50% for deep dish pies. Thanks!
We hope you find it as delicious as we did!
It looks sooo yummy! I'm going to make one right away.!" Thank you for writing out the rescipe.
This pie looks so good!!!🥧
This is a cool & delicious looking pie, kind of cookie-ish. I love it, thank you. I could eat that entire pie also.
It’s VERY rich! We absolutely love it, though.
I’m thinking vanilla ice cream would also go well with it.
Thank you for this recipe, I have been trying to find these in the stores around Derby time. I almost ordered them, but seeing this video just saved me a lot of money❤
You can definitely make your own cheaper than most places will charge to make it for you. Tip: I love to warm a slice up in the microwave for a few seconds before I eat it. So good! Thanks so much for watching.
I just pulled this out of the oven. Can’t wait to taste it. Your videos are very well done. I like how you lay out the ingredients and make it simple to understand. We have been enjoying your videos. Thank you!!
I really enjoy your videos! I'm sure you were one of the most favorite teachers at the school where you taught. You seem to be a very kind and caring person. Melissa is blessed having such a good husband 💕 She is sweet to share her comments and it's fun to listen to the both of you as you work together ❤️. God bless you and best wishes for your channel to grow and keep blessing others!
That looks absolutely delicious! You guys are great people with kindness in your makeup.❤ Tom, your clear and concise directions are perfect for a kinesthetic learner like me. It's almost as if I was there. Thank you.
We’re thrilled to have you watching. We really appreciate your kind comments. Thank you so much!
I love the typed instructions, and I’ve almost stopped looking at any recipe that asks you to click on another site.
The DIRECTIONS are as important as the recipe itself! 😂❤
I’ll be back.
You remind me of my husband and I busy in the kitchen making something good!
@@comesitatmytable9044
That's funny because pecans actually float to the top of a pecan pie!🤔
And you really didn't add any salt to balance the flavors?🤔

The description recipe is great for when I make the dish.
The video is great for visuals, tips, tricks and enjoyment.
This looks delicious. Have a favorite horse in this year’s Derby?
We did watch the derby but we aren’t very “schooled” in horse racing. We never have any hot tips. I usually go with one that has a name I like. Great way to bet, I know! 🤪
I've never had this pie, but I'm pretty sure that's gonna change in the next couple days. Looks awesome!
Irish lady here. I just found your channel and am so glad I did. I will, for sure, try this lovely pie.
My brother used to live near Louisville and sent me one for my birthday. It's excellent.
I am excited to make and try this pie! When I was growing up, my favorite pie was Egg Custard pie (and still is). It's hard to find in a restaurant though and I need to learn to make it! :) I am enjoying your recipes ! Thanks for all you and your wife do to make it possible!
If you like egg custard pie, you should try buttermilk pie. Not the same but very good.
my dad's favorite pie and mine too...and coconut custard pie too !
It looks scrumptious! God bless you for sharing your baking secrets.
Thank you so much for watching. Hope you can enjoy this pie soon.
I can't wait to try this pie, it looks so yummy. Thank you for sharing this with us. 💕
O M G.... that pie looks soo yummy. I will definitely be making it for me and my family. But I will njoy the first piece 😁
I am grateful for your channel. And for you and your wife, showing; teaching all the delicious recipes you make. Thank you all the way from Colorado.
It's so nice to have you at the table with us. We really do appreciate your kind comments. You are such an encouraging person. Thank you so much.
I love how you gave her the first bite! Can't wait to try this recipe.
I can't wait to try this pie. Your directions are so complete and I'll bet you were a great teacher!
Ingredients great makes me anticipate baking &easing first time I've watched you guys
❤ I fixed this two nights ago. The three of us ABSOLUTELY loved it.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I plan to make the Kool Aid pie tomorrow and the Chicken and Dumpling Casserole later next week 😊
The Kool aid pie is delicious I've been making for my family for more than ten years. Many years ago long b4 I retired a lady make one, brought it to work & shared it with us, but would not share the recipe. So I made it from taste at first I add a pkg of room temperature cream cheese to my can of condensed milk. It was really good, but whenever I made it at other for one of my coworkers I omitted the cream cheese, cause she didn't like the cream cheese. I just found this channel & immediately became a fan & subscriber😉
I can’t wait to go to the store later and get the ingredients for this pie. It looks wonderful!.
I love that you gave your wife the 1st bite. That's love ❤️
Looks yummy. I have never heard of this but I will try it.
I just discovered your videos recently, and I have saved almost every one I have seen. I love your choices, and Tom you are so easy to watch and follow. Melissa, I appreciate that you put the recipe in the video. Thank you both. By the way, this pie looks incredible. ❤
This pie looks amazing! Can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Hi Tom & Melissa! I will have to make this pie for some friends! I don’t usually eat rich foods like this, but splurge every now & again. Tom, what made me laugh & what I liked is that you got EVERY DROP of butter, not wasting anything! I cringe when people leave half of the ingredients in bowls, or else scrape them off camera. I always feel they are throwing food away or their recipe is not right, because the don’t add 100% of the ingredients to the mixing bowl. Thank You! I didn’t cringe, but laughed out loud instead and felt good watching you put it together. Also, I am left handed too. All my life we were told that left handed people were more artistic and very creative, and you seem to be the same. I am you guys age, and love to cook, so thank you for sharing. And, how did this pie get it’s name? Was it ever served at the races?
I don’t know but I think it’s a possibility. I would serve it if i was in charge of the Derby!
I have everything I need including the pie crust and this looks so awesome. I think I’m going to bake it even tonight. Thank you all for so many delicious and wonderful recipes. But also I want to thank you all for being such a wonderful host and hostess. ❤❤❤❤ you know I am not the only one that loves you all we all do
Like your shirt 😀 can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you and Melissa for sharing these delicious recipes. At 62 I'm finally getting to dabble with culinary and have tried many of your recipes and all have been amazing. Thanks Ron Combs Florida
