Southern Pecan Pie

November 25, 2018 by mgrc 2 Comments

Reader Angela was looking for the recipe for Southern Pecan Pie. She said she had put the card into a cookbook, and could no longer find that cookbook.

Here you go, Angela: Southern Pecan Pie: it’s in group 25 “Pies and Tarts” and it’s card 9 in that group.

The card says that this pie is best when served at room temperature or slightly warmer. I’d like a piece with a dollop or two or three of freshly whipped cream, if you please.
