Pie From Another Time... 1930s Dixie Pie Recipe
I know that in 2023 the title of this pie might be a little triggering for some people - I get it. But sometimes history can be messy and maddening, and you can't ignore that this pie existed.

Dixie Pie
PIE CRUST
1 cup Town Crier Flour
1/3 cup lard
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons boiling water
FILLING
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Milk
½ cup butter
½ cup nuts
2 egg whites
2 egg yolks
1 cup dates
CRUST:
Add salt to flour. Cut in fat. Add boiling water. Mix until smooth.
Chill thoroughly. Roll out and fit to pie pan.
FILLING:
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg yolks one at a time. Add milk.
Then dates and nuts. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Spread evenly in pastry lined pie pan. Bake at first in a hot oven (450 degrees F.) 10 minutes. Decrease heat to moderate (350 degrees F.) for remainder of time, about 30 minutes, until crust and filling are golden brown. Before serving top with whipped cream which has been sweetened and flavor with a little nutmeg.


This summer (June 2023) I'm flying in a 2,086nm fundraiser for Hope Air, an organisation that helps lower income Canadians or those who live in remote areas access healthcare by providing flights (through private pilots and airlines) to larger urban centres.
