recipe forgot a stepMarch 22, 2008By TARA73002
"The recipe forgot to mention that you need to cream the butter and sugar together and then add the remaining ingreients to the creamed mixture and then fold in the peaked egg whites. It calls for butter and sugar in the ingredient list, but doesnt tell you what to do with them. The pie is absolutely delicious and I will be making it again."
