At the Dairy Hollow House, a popular country inn and restaurant I ran with my husband, Ned, we enjoyed serving food that went beyond one region or nationality. California almonds add a delicious twist to this Southern recipe. We've since turned Dairy Hollow House into a non-profit writers' colony.Crescent Dragonwagon, Eureka Springs, Arkansas Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
3 eggs |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup light corn syrup |

1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup chopped almonds, toasted |
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches) |
lightly sweetened whipped cream, optional |
