This comes from the excellent book, “Southern Pies: A Gracious Plenty of Pie Recipes, from Lemon Chess to Chocolate Pecan,” by Nancie McDermott, a North Carolina cookbook author who has gathered up 60+ recipes for every type of Southern pie you can imagine.
Any book sporting the phrase, “a gracious plenty” automatically wins the competition for my eyeballs.
From the original site: In my life, pumpkin pie is allowed to be a 12-month opportunity. We don’t just keep it in Thanksgiving jail; we set it free to frolic anytime we need a comforting dessert.
Or breakfast.
