Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F.

Cream together butter and brown sugar.

Beat in 4 egg yolks. Mix together flour and spices and then add.

Stir in cream, dates, raisins and nuts.

Fill the shell; bake the pie until set, about 30 minutes.

When cool take 2 or 3 egg whites and make a meringue as a topping.

The dates are not necessary but a nice extra; without them and the nuts it is called a Kentucky or Arkansas pie.

This is a great favorite in southern cafeteria and small town restaurants.
