Went for wings at Runyon’s in Minneapolis with my friend Scott and his girlfriend Kari and we got to talking about Thanksgiving and I told them I was supposed to bring a Butter Pie and they wanted to know what it was, so here it is for all the world.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup granulated white sugar
- 1 Cup whole milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ Cup butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 crust pie dough
Method
- Preheat oven to 450F
- Line 9″ Pie plate with a single crust pie dough.
- Mix flour, salt, and sugar together.
- Cream butter into flour and sugar.
- Add eggs and beat thoroughly.
- Add vanilla and milk to mixture to finish the custard.
- Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie shell.
- Float the second crust on the custard mixture and seal the edges. Do not cut vent holes in the top crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 325F and continue cooking for 25 minutes until golden brown.
Note:
It’s best to guild the lily and serve this pie with real whipped cream.
