was usually made with any left over pie crust, and so the size of the pie
would vary. However, here is the recipe for a whole milk pie.

1 1/2 Cups mild or cream
dash of cinnamon

or cream over mixture and sprinkle with cinnamon (Top milk was always used
for this tart before homogenized milk came into use). Bake in 350 degree oven
for 45 minutes. Pie will be runny. For the few who like it thicker, use less
milk or let the pie set a day before eating it.
Some added a tablespoon of molasses or substitute brown sugar for the
white, calling it; Candy Pie, Goody Pie, Love Pie, or Butterscotch Pie.

Eat-me-Quick Pie, Grandmother's Pie, Nothing Pie, Everyday Pie, Johnny Pie,
