Group Recipes is to cooking as Ravelry is to knitting. While recently exploring all things butterscotch, I came across the following recipe and thought it would be a perfect Miss Silver contribution. I had read the Grey Mask (1928) already, and I recently read Anna Where Are You? (early 1950s). I thought the contributor comments here were particularly appropriate.
Butterscotch Pie From The 1920s
By Chefmeow
This recipe comes from my mother's collection. She obtained it from her knitting group in 1952. She said it had been around for years at that point. She is guessing that this is a recipe from the 1920's.
