Poverty Pie 🥧 Great Depression Era Recipe - Cheap Dessert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- This is a recipe for Poverty Pie that goes all the way back to The Great Depression, maybe even farther. My Mom grew up during The Great Depression. Like many children did at the time, she dropped out of school in the mid-1930's, at the age of 14, to get a job and earn money for the family. She became a cook and housekeeper for a wealthy family. That is where she learned how to cook American food and when her life-long love of collecting recipes began. This is a very simple recipe to make and requires only a few very basic ingredients.

😋😋
When you mentioned kids having to drop out of school and work reminds me of my parents. They told us they had to drop out and work to help out too. I think 8th grade was the furthest my Dad went. My Mom too but can't remember when she had to quit school. They didn't have a diploma but they provided for 6 kids and themselves. They always had a garden too. We always had something to eat even if was beans and rice and homemade cornbread and veggies from the garden and handme downs to wear from family. Looks good Grandpa.
It was very common for children to quit school and help out the family. My Mom worked for a lovely couple that had no children and they treated her like a daughter. She always talked very fondly of them. Thank you for sharing about your parents. Grandpa was happy to hear you liked his pie❤️👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral That is such a lovely story to hear! In such a hard time, im so glad she found a job that was also like a second family! I have read so many stories of children being mistreated/abused at work during the great depression. Thanks for sharing!!
Looks yummy! I love recipes from the Great Depression. Definitely relevant now with the cost of food and gasoline so high. Everyone will be searching for frugal meals. Thanks!
What you said is so true we have to make frugal meals to stretch our budgets. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
I love to learn about cooking great depression meals. I have saved money by using some of them.
I’m researching Depression-era recipes for school and I’m glad to come across yalls video, much more wholesome seeing a Grandma and Grandpa cooking up a nice pie instead of reading the same old same old about water pie 50 times
Glad my videos can help you with researching Depression Era recipes. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
In this time of so much turmoil it is nice to know that the recipes are still there to extend the foods we do have. You 2 are doing such an amazing job of showing the generation that might need these cost saving ideas. Thank you both again for your service
We are making the videos to show everyone how you can make meals that are simple and cheap. We don’t need to go to fast food restaurants. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Thank you grandma and grampa.
Thank you for watching👩🏻
I love how you and Grandpa call each other Ma and Grandpa, this poverty pie looks delicious, I love custard pies and I can't wait to make this, lots of love to you and Grandpa ♥
This pie is so good and did not last long. Grandpa loves anything with custard. ❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
me too
Are we related?
@@joshuajasinski7773 I don't know,where are you from?
Grandpa Feral, Using the egg beater brought back some great memories. I have to say the color of the meringue was beautiful. It looked so much like my moms pies years ago. Thank you both for all you do. It is a gem to watch.
Grandpa thanks you for your compliment and you made him very happy. We are glad to hear you enjoy watching are videos❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
I just love your videos! I have to try this recipe soon. I appreciate how you put the recipe card close so we can screenshot it. This is a very timely low cost dessert. Praying you two are doing well in these tumultuous times. Your videos are a wonderful treat and peaceful happy distraction. 🤗 Big hugs! 💖🥰
I am happy to hear you love the videos. Grandpa and I are doing well and we thank you for your prayers especially at these times. Thank you for watching❤️👩🏻 &👨🍳
It’s so amazing what can be done with so little! I make custard pie but use 5 egg yolks. It’s ingenious to use the thickening power of flour to stretch the yolks! I will absolutely try this, with a pinch of nutmeg in the custard.
The way our economy is headed these recipes can help stretch our food budgets. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓
I hope my recipes will help everyone see how easy it is to bake with just a few ingredients and like you said stretch our food budgets. Thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻
Oh my goodness, yes!!! Grandma, you and Grandpa have brought some *very precious* memories for me today.....My Da taught me how to make this when i was only 7, and called it his "special Arkansas custard pie" - The only difference is that we would sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the custard before baking.
I sure do thank you for this lovely upload! ❤
I am so happy to hear we brought you wonderful memories today. Thank you for sharing about your Dad who taught you to make this pie at 7 years old and thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻&👨🍳

My mom used to make this pie. We had a chicken and pig farm where we sold eggs and sold the pigs, so ate eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a delicious pie and yours looks and probably taste how I remember.
Thank you for sharing that you had a chicken and pig farm and that your Mom made this pie.❤️👩🏻
Thank you Granmda Feral and Grandpa for sharing this recipe. God bless you both! ❤
We thank you for your blessings and for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻&Grandpa👨🍳
My family had a similar pie recipe from the Depression called "Sugar Pie", that looks very similar.
The Sugar Pie was probably similar and it just was given a different name. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Like Hoosier pie ? 😁
I watch this 6 times I made it I gave it to some friends they loved it I love this I wish I had grandparents or parents I'm so happy for this moment I'm in love with the Internet

Looks fantastic. Love the use of the hand beater and not an electric one. I think everyone should make stuff non electric.

We are happy to hear you are adopting us as your grandparents. Enjoy the pie when you make it. Thank you so much for watching❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
Well this one certainly looks "easy as pie"! I'm always so happy to watch your uploads--- they remind me of the way I grew up, simpler recipes for a simpler time. We had chickens on the farm, so always plenty of eggs, and lots and lots of delicious baked custards to use them up. We never bothered to make a crust to go along with all that custard!
I wonder if your mom lived around this general area? I know it was common when my mom was young for people in the Gold Coast mansions to still have live-in employees. A friend of hers lived over the stables at a famous heiress's, which is now a (state?) park. Another friend's dad's family also lived or worked at another big estate, and he met his wife there. This would have been around the late 1920s-1930s, maybe up through early 1940s time frame.
Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for another winner!
Hi Patricia My grandfathers worked at different estates and they were both gardeners. They both rode their bikes to work everyday whatever the weather. My Mom worked for a lovely couple with no children who treated her like a daughter. She always talked very fondly of them. The pie disappeared quickly as Grandpa loves custard. Have a good day and we are happy spring is around the corner❤️👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Thank you for the info, it seems we have yet more similar family experience. Yes, the crocuses have been up for the past week (despite the bouts of snow and bad weather), and I am very happy about that!🌱
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I enjoy watching your videos ☺️
I am happy to hear you enjoy my videos. Thank you so much for watching❤️👩🏻
Yummie! Sitting with my morning coffee, and I want a piece of the poverty pie!!! Must do😋.
Good to hear from you two again, hope your'e ok ❤️
Hugs and nosekisses from me and Nikki 🙋🏼♀️🐕🐾🐾🇸🇪
The pie is so good and did not last long since Grandpa loves anything with custard. We are well but we don’t post videos everyday since we are always keeping busy. Love to you and Nikki 👩🏻 &👨🍳
This looks delicious!
It is delicious and since Grandpa loves anything with custard it did not last long. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
you guys are THE BEST. CHEERS TO GRANDPA.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching👩🏻&👨🍳
Will be trying this recipe soon. Love collecting (and trying) recipes from The Great Depression as well as hearing the stories connected to them. I hope the family that your mother worked for treated her well. Grandpa did a great job showing us how to make this recipe!!
My Mother told me she was treated like a daughter. I am happy to hear you will be making the pie and Grandpa was happy you said he did a great job. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Grandpa you did a great job on this pie! Looks delicious! 🙂💯🏆
Thanks so much❤️Grandpa👨🍳
@@GrandmaFeral your welcome! 🙂😎
Wow! Like Marie calendars,
I like everything homemade👩🏻
I will try this for sure.
I am happy to hear you will be trying this pie. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral We need more dessert recipes like this during this current economic Depression.
Thank you very much for sharing.. I am going to make this pie.. By the way in the south southerners have got a pie something like like, poverty pie but without the meringue topping.. It is called "Chess Pie." Have you every heard of the Chess Pie? You might like it. There is lemon, chess pie and chocolate chess pie..
Thank you for sharing about the Chess Pie. We are from the northeast and I have never heard of the pie. I will definitely have to look into making it. Thank you for watching👩🏻
My Daddy who was born in Oklahoma in 1927 made this same pie except buttermilk. Yummy 🤤
Hi Jenn thank you for sharing that your Daddy made the same pie. Next time we make the pie we will use buttermilk. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻
Love this!! I can’t remember the last time I saw a hand mixer being used. Impressive;)
Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Thank you for sharing your mother's story..I had a mentally ill mother..so I had to take over the house at 14 because my poor father was overwhelmed..
I did not have to drop out out school..I had to be very organized...
Fourteen is a young age to learn so much..with so many people depending on you .
I hope she got to live a nice life later.
My Mother worked for a very nice couple that had no children. She told me many times how they treated her like a daughter and she always talked fondly of them. My Mother loved to cook and bake and a lot was learned from her first job. You had a lot of responsibility at a young age but you were fortunate that you could stay in school. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Yummy!
Grandpa really enjoyed this pie👩🏻
I love to watch these videos ❤️👍😁…thank you for sharing them….I think many of us will need to start cooking on a regular basis like this soon…even though I hope I’m wrong…and it reminds me of how my grandmother cooked and I would much rather eat that way then to try to survive on a bunch of junk food 😁
God bless ❤️
I totally agree no junk food. Years ago they did not have fast food restaurants so they had to prepare simple cheap meals. Thank you for watching and your blessings❤️👩🏻
That looks so good. I wonder if you left a vanilla hot and added lemon juice if it tastes like a lemon meringue pie. Awesome ideas. Good job Grandpa. Grandma you're good to him.
Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻&👨🍳
It's another historical blizzard in buffalo, so I'm going to try to make this
We just had rain on Long Island and now cold temperatures. I am glad to hear you will be making the Poverty Pie. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
WTG Grandpa. The pie looks great and I’m sure it tastes good. I’m not a backer but I think I’ll try making it because it looks pretty easy to make. Thank you both. Be well, be safe, peace.
We hope you try this delicious pie and it is really easy to make. Have a great day👩🏻
Grandpa...you can skip the Gym that day! Hehe
Looks great! Yumm!! Thank you!!
You got that right!❤️Grandpa👨🍳
I love you guys. Try putting something tacky under the bowl when you’re using that egg beater. I use piece of ribbed carpet pad when I don’t want the bowl moving around. Thanks for the recipe. Gonna try it tonite.
Hi Mary we are glad you will be making the pie. Enjoy! We love you Grandma👩🏻 & Grandpa👨🍳
I believe this also called 'Custard Merengue Pie' too.
Thank you for letting me know what the pie is also called. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
This is basically an egg custard pie.
Nice job, Grandpa !
Thank you❤️Grandpa👨🍳
My mom Still makes this
Thank you for sharing that your Mom makes this pie. Have a good day👩🏻
Could you bake just the custard ? Your videos are such fun, useful and remind me of home long gone.
Yes you can just bake the custard. I am glad you like my videos and thank you so much for watching👩🏻
I like you two.
Thank you so much for watching and have a good day❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
You guys are such a cute couple.
Thank you❤️👩🏻&👨🍳
It would have been cute if SHE was the one doing the tasting since he did the cooking.
I’m planning on making several of your recipes
Next time! Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
They got their blue willow dishes! Lol
Please give us more depression receipes to save money...thank you!
You mean my vintage Currier and Ives dishes?
@@GrandmaFeral the ones grandpa is eating off of
I thought they were blue willow
Yes, that’s my set of vintage Currier and Ives dinnerware. It was my Moms. 😁
@@GrandmaFeral they are nice looking
Have a great day
could you add different flavorings to this? It is just a custard. perhaps some lemon zest or a layer of strawberry puree might be nice. I love these simple recipes.
We have never tried it with different flavors. We find it delicious how it is. If you do, please let me know how it comes out. Thank you for watching! 🍋 🍓
Yes you can add different flavorings. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! Nice basic recipe that would be a great base for variations and delicious on its own.
Just curious, where was your Mom originally from Grandma?
Well done!❤️
Her family came from Poland. Thank you for watching ❤️👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Thank you Grandma. That's nice to know! ❤️
Well we really need you now
These recipes has helped us with our food budget👩🏻
One common characteristic of people who grew up in the Great Depression is they scraped every bit of food from the bowls. Waste not, want not.
Hi Billy your comment is so true. My Mom who grew up in the Great Depression told me that many times. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
You can do the same with the addition of a banana, assuming you can get one or have one.
Thank you for sharing about using a banana. I know Grandpa would like it but not me because I was a banana baby. I was born a small baby and the Doctor told my Mom to feed me bananas. I had mashed bananas three times a day and to this day I dislike them. I always have them in the house for Grandpa. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
I started working at 11 years old.
I thought my Mom started working young at 14 but 11 is really a young age. Thank you for your support and have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻
How much of the sugar went into the egg yolk mix and how much went into the egg white mix?
1/2 cup of sugar went into the egg yolk mixture and 4 tablespoons sugar added one at a time to egg white mixture. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral I love that you are putting these online. Both of my grandmothers passed, so I missed out on the opportunity of getting these cooking lessons. You are immortalizing an important part of our history as well as passing on important knowledge on how to make a little into a lot
Kids don't know how good they have it now...your mom had to go to work at 14? Can you imagine if someone had to do that today to make ends meet? They'd take your kid away!
My Moms generation were hard workers. When money was tight everyone in the family would get jobs to help their parents out. When she was in school she had to walk miles in all kinds of bad weather to get there. My Mom would always tell me just as you did that kids today don’t realize how good they have it and she never wanted anyone to have to live through another Great Depression. Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
You made custard and mergue pie
Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
Anything else you can substitute for eggs?? Very expensive these days.
We have only made the pie using eggs. I don’t know what you can substitute for the eggs. Have a good day❤️Grandma👩🏻
Is this like buttermilk pie? Maybe a name variation. Not actually made from buttermilk
Hi to me it is more like a custard pie. Thank you so much for watching. Have a nice weekend❤️Grandma👩🏻
you use 3 tablespoons of sugar fron the half cup or you just did a half cup plus 3 tablespoons.
1/2 cup sugar to make the filling and 3 tablespoons sugar to make the meringue.👩🏻
Looks like a lemon/lime meringue pie just with no lemon or lime flavor
Thank you so much for watching.❤️Grandma👩🏻
hit dislike by accident. this is a good recipe
It happens. Thank you so much for watching and have a great weekend❤️👩🏻
