Sunny Silver Pie




Source of Recipe

Recipe Introduction


"There were four children in our family, and because of the Depression plus the size of our family, the invitations to dinner at someone else's place were few and far between. However, my parents had dear friends who lived in the country, and every time we were invited there, "Aunt Helen" served chicken with all the trimmings and mouth-watering Sunny Silver Pie topped with real whipped cream. On our trips to the farm we four kids sat in the back of the car, chanting, "We want chicken, we want chicken," and then quickly adding, "with Sunny Silver Pie." I have been using this recipe for the 54 years of my married life and still get requests for it as well as compliments."
