Best Pie you will ever eat (I guarantee you)....a 100 yr old family recipe (my grandma actually got it off the back of an imperial sugar package back then). It's called Jeff Davis Pie (we've googled it before and found variations but never found the original recipe like we have). It will look like a Buttermilk Pie but will taste nothing like it. As good as it on T/giving day....A cold piece (1/2 of Pie for me...but for most a piece) with a cup of coffee Fri morning and you'll think you're in heaven!
OK here is the JD pie recipe--- in your mothers own handwriting- 3 cups sugar 1 cup butter 1 T flour 1/4 t salt 4 eggs beaten lightly 1 cup milk 1 t vanilla Cream butter&, sugar. Blend flour, salt, and vanilla into mixture and beat well. Add eggs, then stir in milk. Pour into 2 9" pie shells and bake at 450 for 10 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 and bake for 30 minutes or until firm.
Seems simple....but the key to a good JD pie is not burning the top while making sure the inside is firm (not runny). The top will bubble and get dark....just don't want it too dark. Let them cool overnight before putting in the fridge the next day (try not to eat a piece before it's cold as it's better cold-I've never been able to wait in the last 40 yrs but I'm guessing it can be done).
