    My Great Great Grandma is the one who invented the White Pie and my family is the own who owned Burton Cafe. Great PIE!

    Wow! I made this because it sounded so different, but man did my family love it. My husband found this pie to be especially "uneven", requiring multiple trips to the fridge to "even" the edges. Wonderful, wonderful recipe.
