"binx" Gardners Cream Pie Recipe
Yield: 12 servingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
2 quart: 40% cream,
1/4 tsp: Salt,
6: Egg whites,
2 tsp: Vanilla,
2 tbsp: Flour,
1 2/3 cup: Sugar,
Directions:
Hand beat egg whites until somewhat frothy. Combine flour, sugar
and salt and add to egg whites; beat until smooth, losing grainy
look. Add vanilla. Beat again. Add cream and stir until well
blended. Have ready a baking dish, Pyrex or deep metal pan (milk pan)
lined with a short pastry which has been chilled in refrigerator for
some time. Pour cream mixture into crust and bake in a very slow
oven, 250 ~275 degrees F., for 4 hours. It must not boil. Best done
the day before and allowed to set.
This cream pie, a fifth or sixth generation recipe, has a custard
like texture and a delicious flavor. A. K. (Binx) Gardner had the
recipe from Mrs. Obadiah Gardner, his mother, who had it from her
mother and grandmother. The pie is cooked in a very slow oven for 4
hours and allowed to set for at least another day before it is
served. This is a large pie. A small "sliver" of the pie makes a good
dessert.
