Ingredients:
I found this recipe in an old cookbook. It looks like a sweet egg pie with the sirup(yes, that is how syrup is spelled).1 cup corn sirup 1/2 cup sugar 4 tablespoons butter 3 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 recipe Southern Pastry Southern Pastry: 2 cups sifted flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup shortening 6 Tbsp. ice water
Directions:
Filling:Cook sirup, sugar and butter together until thickened. Beat eggs until light, pour sirup over them, add vanilla and blend. Line a piepan with pastry and pour in filling. Bake in hot oven (425 degrees F.)10 minutes; reduce temperature to slow(325 degrees F.) and bake 20 minutes longer or until filling is firm. Makes 1 (8-inch) pie. Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecan meats over top before baking. Southern Pastry: Mix flour and salt, cut shortening into flour; add water a tablespoon at a time,using only enough to make a workable paste; too little will leave it crumbly. This pastry, being exceedingly rich, must be handled deftly. Roll out pastry and lie piepan. Makes 2 (9-in.)pastry shells or pastry for 1 two-crust (9-in.) pie. Thoroughly chilling before rolling makes pastry easier to handle. | |
