During the '30s, my mother made this pie for the ladies in her club. I'd hurry home from school so I could help her and then try a pie myself! It soon became such a family favorite. Mother made it part of our Christmas meals. Ingredients:
1/3 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs, separated |
1/4 cup milk |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1 cup raisins |
1 unbaked pie pastry (9 inches) |
whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks; beat well. Blend in milk. Stir in nuts and raisins; set aside. Using clean beaters, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into the raisin mixture. Pour into pie shell.
2. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 300°; bake 40 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool. Refrigerate. Serve pie chilled with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.
