Flapper Pie Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Auntybea / All my dishes 1 year, 8 months ago This is a very old-fashioned custard pie that was made by every cook in our area of western Canada from the turn of the century untiil about the '70s. My husband still asks for it because it's his favourite. It would be a shame for it to be forgotten as it is a lovely, light pie.... More Prep:20m Cook:6m Servings:8	Auntybea

They used to sell this at the Salisbury House(maybe just in Wpg.)and I think they even called it Flapper Pie. Looks good.
