Modern cream pie recipes have less sugar and less cornstarch, or have flour and can taste the flour, too much egg and taste eggy, and are not as good. I think there were variations for more flavors. Seems this basic pie had 4 to 6 flavors. Don’t remember what the flavors were if it was butterscotch, lemon meringue, banana, strawberry, or what. This basic recipe was in a 1970’s era maybe 1974 or 1975 Better Home’s and Garden red and white checkered cookbook. I lost mine from moving so much and for years I knew the recipe by heart. But life got busy and I forgot it and could never find it again until now! Thank you! I’m thinking that for butterscotch the sugar is just stirred and browned by itself in the pot dry and then add ingredients for the vanilla pie. Anyway I really would like the other variations of the recipe, too and the lemon meringue recipe in that book as well. The lemon may be on a different page. But I got lots of complements on the lemon one too. Please post and email me the other variations if you have them.Tanklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09714696324517146754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106512285217769944.post-86868428528212030042013-05-19T10:12:08.949-07:002013-05-19T10:12:08.949-07:00Hey there would you mind letting me know which web...Hey there would you mind letting me know which web host you're working with?

I was wondering if you might; probably should have just invited you, but I didn't want you to feel pressured.<br /><br />I don't know how I missed this post the first time, but I so enjoyed it! What a lovely story about the pie. Such a blessing that the recipe was discovered and the tradition can be carried on. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

I was hoping to find some wonderful deals, especially after I got inspired by your post! That was a great find. They had no Valentine left and the SPI was only 30% off, so I'm going to try to make it back next week before everything gets away from me.I did find a couple of bags(12 each)of white(haven't ever seen white ones)plastic eggs for about 50 cents ea. I'm going to cover those with something--not sure what yet. I'll get my Rachel to help with those, I think she will like that. I can't wait to see all your great Easter decor. Have fun getting ready for Easter!

It was wonderful to hear you use the same basic recipe often for your pies. I tell you, that BH&G cookbook was definitely one of the most(if not the most)popular cookbooks of the day. It is probably one of the main reasons(and I say this with much humility)I turned out to be a decent cook today. I referred to the book, often, because of the cooking methods for every day things and getting to know cooking terms. I was so sorry when my copy fell apart and I had to let it go. I had not remembered the chocolate version of the vanilla custard pie, however, until Sharon gave me the pages to copy and I don't remember trying either version. I do remember, however, making the lemon meringue pie which used the same meringue recipe as the vanilla and chocolate and coconut. I like the chocolate, but I love lemon meringue, so since that recipe is right there with the meringue,I might just have to try it again soon. You can't beat those old-time recipes, for sure. lynn cockrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16250601457878656085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106512285217769944.post-87420231471710491112013-03-05T12:31:24.460-08:002013-03-05T12:31:24.460-08:00I'm so glad you stopped by, Shannon.

It truly was sweet of his sister to think of him in this way and he really was surprised and very touched when he came home and saw it sitting there.

She has passed away, but I make the coconut cream variety all the time. Her recipe is for Vanilla Cream Pie and then on the back she tells how to make chocolate or coconut. Believe it or not, I am not a chocolate lover, but my hubby loved her chocolate cream pie. That meringue is amazing. I am sure that this pie made your hubby's birthday wonderful!<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106512285217769944.post-54028112126059678032013-03-04T04:40:43.769-08:002013-03-04T04:40:43.769-08:00That is one delicious looking pie!

I have to admit that I was crying when I did this post. I miss my husband's parents and mine, too, so very much. I had the same thoughts as I posted, that we should not take for granted even one moment in time because we are not promised the next moment. I hope you will be able to locate your Gram's cookbook. What a treasure that would be! If you try this pie, I hope you'll enjoy it. It is so worth the effort!

I loved every bit of it and how special that she would make him his own...what wonderful memories!!! When my grandmother passed my uncle misplaced her hand written cookbook. We have all been practicing different things to try to make them like Grams. I guess it is a lesson to us all to take time to learn these recipes from our loved ones so that we can pass them on!!! I will be trying this one!!!My Garden Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295676587780780313noreply@blogger.com
