Notes: The original recipe called for an egg to be added with the sugar and vanilla. I deleted this and increased the butter to 1 cup. If you use the egg, use a pasteurized egg and ½ cup butter in the base layer. Information on making your own pasteurized eggs is in the Vegetables and Vegetarian Dishes section.
