Directions: |
Directions:Pre-heat oven to 375° F. Coat a 9 inch deep dish pie plate with vegetable oil cooking spray and lay in the pie shell. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg yolks and beat until light and fluffy. Sift in the cake flour, baking powder, and salt and stir until well blended. Mix in the vanilla and milk. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites till they are stiff using and electric mixer. Fold into batter. Pour into pie plate and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top. Bake for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 325° F. And continue baking for 25-30 more minutes, or until the center is set when you gently jiggle the pie. Serve hot or cold.
Tip: These can also be made as mini pies with 5 inch pie shells. We would double the recipe and make individual mini pot pie sized desserts. This way we had the option to not sprinkle on the cinnamon for those who didn’t want it. |

Notes: “When I visited South Africa with Theresa, her sister made this for us one night. Amazing. I was hooked and when we got back to the States, Theresa started making this for all of our family gatherings. I will never forget the first time we made it. Neither of us had a clue what “whip it till it’s stiff” meant, and we just laughed and laughed. Great memories with a great friend. Much Love to all the Dreyer Family!” Mindy
