“I'm a guy that does almost no cooking, but I can bake this. Turns out good every time. Not for someone on a diet, or with sugar problems. A big hit, with the young and old alike!” - by Verdayne Miley

"Something is wrong with this recipe besides not indicating the temperature to cook it at. I carefully measured all ingredients but the "batter" produced only fills about 1/3 of the pie shell?? There..." See more wasn't near enough batter. The pie came out mottled and very ugly. Taste wasn't good either. It went in the garbage."

"I know this as a sugar pie. Grandma made these when I was little. The directions are pretty close to hers, only she covered the edges of the pie with a crust cover or foil to keep them from burning. F..." See moreor someone like me to make this pie and not fail, it's pretty much foolproof. Very comforting. I serve it with whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream, Grandma was big on eating a slab for breakfast in a bowl with milk/cream. I suggest you make your own crust to make it even more decadent."
