Oldies from Laura Shurtleff



Does this recipe for "soda cracker pie" and the recipie box bring back any memories? I think you gave the recipie box to mom didn't you Mary Lou? This recipie is very easy and tasty, my taste buds are watering just thinking about the last time I made it ( last year)...I can't have it now, but I hope you all will give it a whirl and let the families try it. I love how old it is. Here is the recipe:

12 soda crackers

1 cup nut meats (chopped nuts)

1 tsp vanilla

1cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder
Crush graham crackers with rolling pin, beat egg whites still stiff, slowly add 1 cup of sugar then add rest of ingredients. Grease 9" pie plate and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Great served with whipped cream. What a wonderful old fashioned treat (p.s. I used walnuts for the nuts )

  1. I'm sorry but that has never sounded appealing to me. I suppose it is my duty as a descendant of Grandma Shurtleff to try it.

    It is really good? I don't think Mom ever made it when I was around. Who knows though. Maybe I just refused to eat it.

    Thanks for sharing. Good to see the old recipe box.

  2. I think I did give mom that recipe box. I had forgotten all about it. Don't remember the recipe, though. Joel didn't either. I think I might try it, though. It is cheap!
