Ruby’s Vinegar Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1/2 unbaked pie shell
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius). This ensures that your pie bakes evenly to perfection.
-
Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, sugar, flour, white vinegar, vanilla extract, and margarine. Use a whisk or a spoon to mix everything together until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be thick and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
-
Prepare the pie shell: Take your unbaked pie shell and place it in a pie dish or tin. You can use a store-bought pie shell or make your own from scratch if you prefer. Make sure the pie shell is evenly spread out and pressed firmly into the dish.
-
Pour the filling: Once your pie shell is ready, pour the prepared filling mixture into it. Use a spatula to spread the filling evenly across the bottom of the pie shell, ensuring that it reaches all the edges.
-
Bake the pie: Carefully transfer the filled pie shell into the preheated oven. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top of the pie is golden brown. You can insert a toothpick into the center of the pie to check for doneness – if it comes out clean, your pie is ready!
-
Serve and enjoy: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. You can serve it warm or at room temperature, whichever you prefer. Slice the pie into wedges and serve it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat.
