This recipe is passed down in generations of our family, and is one of my favorite pies to make during the holidays. My husband usually has his mom bake an extra pie just for him. This year we decided to start baking them ourselves! My husband’s grandmother is the one who gave the recipe to his mother, and now we have it as well.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons self-rising flour (may substitute regular flour also)
• 6 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 eggs, whisked
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 frozen 9″ pie sheels

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350*F
2. Combine the brown sugar and flour in a large bowl and mix until there are no lumps.
3. Add the melted butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Apply some of the egg mixture to the pie crust with a brush. Pour the remaining eggs into the pie batter and beat together until it is well mixed.
5. Stir in the milk a little bit at a time until it is fully combined. The batter will be very liquid.
6. . Pour batter into two 9″ unbaked pie shells. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the top of the pie begins to look brown and flaky. Overcooking will cause the edges of the pie to begin burning.

It’s okay for the pies to rise up and crack, it’s quite normal. Best if you chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving, as the pie is much better this way in my opinion! We usually relate brown sugar pie to the taste of pecan pie, but without the pecans of course. Make this for Thanksgiving or Christmas and begin a new family tradition for your family!
