NOTES : Of all the maple syrup pies I've made, none was ever as good as
this one. The recipe dates from Colonial days when crushed wheat was used
to thicken the mixture.

Lei's Notes: This book had a mis-print in this recipe, as no quantity of
maple syrup was listed...in fact the whole ingredient was missing. I'm
guessing here on the 1 cup of maple syrup based on the Creamy Maple Syrup
Pie, which contains 1 cup.
