Kai's "Old-Fashioned" Recipe Thread

Vinegar pies are more like a flan, a tart flan:


GRAMMA FRIEDRICH'S VINEGAR PIE (yeppers, Greatgramma herself)

A 100-year-old recipe

1/2 cup softened butter
1-1/4 cup sugar
2 Tablespoon vinegar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 unbaked 8" pie shell

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vinegar, eggs and vanilla; beat well. Pour into pie shell. Bake in 350° oven 45 minutes or until knife blade inserted halfway between center and edge of pie comes out clean. Cool on rack. Makes 6-8 servings.

A couple others I've made also:

Modern Vinegar Pie Recipe

9-inch pie crust (deep shell type)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 melted butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons of Cane vinegar

Any kind of vinegar can be used, but we suggest cane vinegar or a good industrial balsamic..

Heat the oven to 350 derees F. In a blender, or a large mixing bowl put the eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla and mix well. Pour these ingredients into the pie shell. Bake for about 50 minutes until it is firm. Allow it to cool. Then add topping of nuts, meringue or whipped cream. This pie may also be served without the topping.

Regency Era Vinegar Pie Receipt (this tastes more like a lemon meringue pie minus the meringue)

1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
1 1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1 Tbls. grated lemon zest
1/2 c. cider vinegar
2 c. water
3 eggs, well beaten (if the eggs are small use 4
1 Tbls. butter

Preheat the oven to 425 F.
Combine sugar, flour, and lemon zest in a saucepan and stir them together until thoroughly blended. Add cider vinegar while stirring or whisking constantly, then add the water. Place over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir a little of the hot mixture into the eggs, then stir the warmed egg mixture into the remaining hot mixture. Stir in butter. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell & bake for 10 minutes at 425 and then reduce heat to 350 and continue baking for 30 minutes more. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. The filling will seem quite liquid, but will firm as the pie cools.

Modern Variation on the Vinegar Pie Recipe
2 9 inch pie crusts
4 Egg Yolks
2 Egg Whites
1 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Flour
1/2 tsp. Allspice
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Cloves
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
Pinch of Salt
1 cup Sour Cream
3 Tbsp Butter, melted
3 Tbsp Cider vinegar
1 cup Walnuts
1 cup Raisins

Recipe makes enough filling for two 9 inch pies.

Heat oven to 450 F.
Beat yolks until light colored.
Beat whites until stiff peaks form. Fold in sugar, then fold mixture into egg yolks.
Sift dry ingredients into a separate bowl, and add alternately with sour cream to the egg mixture.
Combine butter and vinegar with raisins and nuts. Add to mix Note: It is best to do this step first, allowing the butter and vinegar mix to absorb into the raisins and nuts.
Bake pies for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 400. Cook 5 more minutes, and then reduce heat to 350. Cook 15 minutes or until set. Mixture will form small bubbles on the surface, center may still be slightly glossy, but will continue to cook and set up as pies rest.
