Grandma RaymondMattie’s Cottage Pie

This recipe is just for the pie filling. Prepare four raw pie shells beforehand.

  • Yield: 4 pies 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Bottom (Karo) Filling:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups dark karo syrup
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg

Pie Top:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Crisco
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups flour

Instructions

Make the bottom (Karo) filling:

Mix the ingredients for the bottom in blender for 1 minute. Divide evenly into four parts and pour into pie shells.

 

Assemble the pie top:

Mix ingredients by hand. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture on top of the karo filling in the pie shells.

Bake at 350 for 45 – 50 minutes until the center is firm.

The two layers blend during the baking process, but you wind up with a firm, almost cake-like upper portion and a thin layer of liquid at the bottom, right above the pie crust.
