Hot Water Pie

During the Great Depression, when times were tough and money was tight, one humble dessert emerged as a beacon of hope and comfort: Hot Water Pie was a simple concoction of hot water, sugar, flour, and butter. In the video I did not mix the flour and sugar together. Although it works both ways, I feel mixing the flour and sugar works better. Hot Water Pie Ingredients: • 1 9” unbaked pie shell • 1 ½ cup water • 4 tbsp Flour • 1 cup sugar • 2 tsp vanilla • 5 tbsp. butter cut into 1 tbsp squares. • Sprinkle a little Nutmeg or Cinnamon over the pie for added flavor. Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 400* 2. Put empty pie crust on a baking sheet. 3. Pour 1 ½ cups water into the pie crust. 4. In a small bowl stir the sugar and flour it works better. 5. Sprinkle the sugar and flour evenly all over the water. Do not stir!!! 6. Drizzle the vanilla over the top. 7. Put the butter over the top of the mixture. 8. Cover the crust with foil and bake at 400* for 30 minutes then lower the heat to 375 for another 30 minutes. 9. Let cool and refrigerate. Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream. 👋 Stop by and say HI!! https://justinascountrykitchen.com/ [email protected] https://original.newsbreak.com/@justi.. #vintagerecipe #dessert #pies
