Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Beat ingredients for bottom layer until smooth and pour into unbaked pie shell

Beat butter and one egg in a large bowl; add sugar and baking powder; then alternate adding milk and flour, about 1/3 each time.

Beat until smooth, then spoon the mixture over the first layer of the pie.

Bake for 50 minutes, and check with toothpick for doneness. Make sure toothpick just checks the top layer for doneness, since the bottom will remain gooey.

Cool on wire rack before serving.

This pie keeps it shape better if you wait until it is completely cool before cutting it.
