SODA CRACKER PIE



Soda Cracker Pie image

Southerners can whip up something special from thin air, and this pretty little pie pie is here to prove it. The Soda Cracker Pie comes from a long line of desperation pies, also known as "make-do pies," that were designed to cope with dwindling supplies and limited ingredients. You know them, you love them: Chess Pie, Southern Buttermilk Pie, Old-Fashioned Shoofly Pie, and Soda Cracker Pie. They first gained popularity during the Depression and World War II, but they've graced our tables ever since. This Soda Cracker Pie is built on a base of whipped egg whites and baking powder. Since this mixture forms the foundation of the pie and will give it much of its height, it's important to whip your egg whites until they reach completely stiff peaks. Then gradually beat in the sugar and fold in the secret ingredients: crushed crackers, nuts (we favor pecans, but you can use any nuts you have on hand), and a splash of vanilla. Who has time to fuss around with a crust? This pie has 12 crushed crackers mixed right into the pie itself. Soda Cracker Pie is a testament to Southerners' resourcefulness, and right now, it really hits the spot.

SODA CRACKER PIE



Soda Cracker Pie image

This pie is delicious, with or without a filling. I make it with pecans and serve it with whipped topping and one shake of nutmeg on top. Or I make it without pecans and fill with fruit filling such as lemon filling. I use soda crackers, saltines, graham crackers or buttery round crackers, finely crushed

SODA CRACKER PIE



Soda Cracker Pie image

My grandmother was a wonderful cook. Even in her "town" house (as opposed to her farm house) she had two kitchens. One on the main floor for day to day cooking, and another in the basement for canning and preserving. After her death, my mother and I were cleaning out the cupboards in the basement kitchen. We found recipe box after recipe box. When my mom found this recipe, she almost did a cartwheel! I looked at the recipe and thought, "ok, this doesn't really sound all that good...." Mom told me, "wait til you try it!!" It's now one of my favorite desserts. The crust is dense and somewhat salty, which perfectly balances the creamy sweetness of the topping.
