    My Mom
    This has been one of my favorite pies since I was a child. When my mom starts taking orders for pies to fix for Christmas, this is at the top of my list.

    List of Ingredients





    Crust:

    1/2 cup butter
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1 cup flour
    1/2 cup chopped pecans

    Save about 1/4 cup to sprinkle on top of pie. Press the rest into a 9" pie pan and bake at 400 degrees for 15 min.

    Recipe


    Filling:

    2/3 cup sugar
    1/2 cup flour
    2 cups milk
    2 egg yolks
    1/4 tsp. salt
    2 Tblsp. butter
    1 tsp. vanilla

    Combine the above ingredients (except the butter and vanilla) and heat over medium heat in a double boiler. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Poor into the cooled pie shell, and sprinkle reserved topping on top.


    Recipe
