Recipe(tried): White Pie (not Burton's)

About the white pie recipe from Benton, IL. The restaurant name is Burton's cafe. That is the only place I have ever heard of this pie too. I tell people about it and they just want to know what's in it. The following is the recipe for white pie that my mother-in-law gave me.

WHIRE PIE (not Burton's)

2 cups milk
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided use
1/2 cup flour
4 egg whites*
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp margarine, softened
1 pre-baked pie crust
Cool Whip and chopped pecans (for topping)

Heat milk until very warm. Pre-mix 3/4 cup of the sugar, flour, and salt; stir into milk. Cook and stir until thick.

Beat egg whites with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla until thick. Add margarine.** Pour into pre-baked crust.

After cooled, top with cool whip and chopped pecans. Enjoy!

I hope any who try it love it as much as we do.

Hi Rhonda,

Thank you for sharing the recipe. The recipe didn't state how to combine the beaten egg whites and cooked mixture. Should the cooked mixture be cooled first?
