The family cookbook contains recipes, my Grandparents used and is the type of food I grew up on. Good ole Southern food like dumplings and pecan pie.
Pecan Pie
What You Need
1/4 ts. vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
3 tbs. flour
1/2 stick butter or margarine
3/4 cup white Karo
1 cup pecan’s chopped
How To Make
Sprinkle pecans in the bottom of unbaked pie crust
Add filling
Bake at 300 degrees for about an hour
In a bowl add together all of the ingredients except for chopped pecans. Let the butter/margarine get soft before adding.

One of the things that is most important is not over-cooking. Take the pie out when there is only a small part in the middle that shacks.
Since these are family recipes the complete cooking instructions are missing because they knew from memory. My Gramps was the master of Pecan Pies in our family.
I’ve made this Pecan Pie so many times, it’s easy and delicious.
This is a great pie year-round but at holidays it was always on the table.

There’s nothing like cooking and eating something you never have before. Some of the recipes are faded or without instructions.
Please let me know what you make. Have a great day. :)

Unfortunately we don’t. But itching to try it. Maybe one day I might find myself in a place where I can get them. I even had to Google them to see how they are. 😂😂😂

I didn’t think you would have them. Do you order items online? If so, I’m sure you will find a seller. There are also items on Etsy from all around the world. Good luck in your search. :)
