Here you go Joe, this recipe is from an older neighbor and I’m sure it’s very old. It’s simple and good and we make it quite often.

Thank you! I have made this except using lemon and lemon zest. Delicious also.

Sounds good too.
The recipe reminds me of the butter chess pies that Furr’s cafeteria used to make. I would imagine this came from the Depression era with the few basic ingredients.

I feel sure all those chess pies, buttermilk pies, etc are depression era pies. I have even seen a mock pecan pie made with cooked pinto beans. Those folks knew how to make do.

Allrecipes.com has a good eggnog recipe. Just don't forget to temper the egg yolks or let the milk boil.

Regular pecan pie is the winner for sure!

Thanks for the thread! Your pies remind me of my childhood when my grandmother would make Italian grain pie. It was similar to a buttermilk pie but with wheat berries and pieces of candied fruit (especially orange peel) mixed throughout. I know what I’m making for Christmas… pecan pie and a grain pie.
