I take it you like Key Lime pie @Bryan James?
Have y'all heard of Flapper Pie?
I have a recipe for it. - You can get it here at a place called
Looks good.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Crust:
- 1¼ cups graham crackers
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ cup sugar
- dash of cinnamon
- Filling:
- 2½ cups of milk
- ½ cup of white sugar
- ¼ cup of cornstarch
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt
- Meringue Topping:
- 3 egg whites
- ¼ cup of sugar
- ¼ tsp of cream of tartar
- Mix all the topping ingredients together, save about 2 tbsp to the side and press the rest into a 10 inch pie plate, in the bottom and up the sides. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes..
- Combine the filling ingredients together and cook on a medium heat until it boils and thickens, making sure to stir constantly! Set aside to cool while you make the meringue.
- Beat the meringue ingredients together until they form stiff peaks.
- Pour the filling into the crust and top with the meringue, making beautiful little spikes that will brown up all lovely on top! Sprinkle the rest of the crumbs on the top and slide into a 350 degree oven.
- Bake until the meringue browns like below, around 10 minutes but watch it carefully! All ovens are different!
- Cool in the fridge and eat the same day. This isn’t a pie that is going to last a few days, meringue topped pies get slimy between the layers. This is best made mere hours before serving.
My Mom used to have a hard time making a good pie crust - she just did not have the light touch needed for it. Dad used to joke about bringing out the chainsaw to cut the crust when she attempted to make pie!Looks good.
....somebody had to do it!....
Most experts agree that the canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, but plain cooked pumpkin) is a lot easier and usually better than starting from scratch with a fresh pumpkin.Tried making a pumpkin pie once using tinned pumpkin which I managed to find in TKMaxx (UK supermarkets don't stock), I don't think I made it right though, so I would love to try a proper pumpkin pie, plus never had pecan pie either which I'd like to try also.
I prefer savoury pies......pie n mash is the best I also love Fray Bentos tinned pies & Pukka pies (for pukka people), both sooo pikey but I love em
I don't think pumpkin pie is all that popular over in the UK - they eat different stuff than us. I LOVE pumpkin pie myself.Most experts agree that the canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling, but plain cooked pumpkin) is a lot easier and usually better than starting from scratch with a fresh pumpkin.
Never a truer pie chart existed.
