Soak the gelatine in the cold water. Heat milk, maple syrup and salt in the
top if a double boiler, then slowly add the egg yolks. Add the gelatine,
stir to dissolve and let the mixture cool.

Whip the cream, flavor it with vanilla and set half of it aside. Fold the

baked pie shell, top with remaining whipped cream and refrigerate until
well chilled.

NOTES : Topped with whipped cream and a lavish sprinkling of grated maple
sugar, this makes an elegant treat.
