Black bottom oatmeal pie from The Four & Twenty Blackbirds Pie Book: Uncommon Recipes from the Celebrated Brooklyn Pie Shop by Emily Elsen and Melissa Elsen

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Fine to good. Needs a really flaky crust to make up for the chewyness of the oats.

    I cannot tell you how amazing the Salty Honey Pie is! I've made it twice and both times almost everyone went back for second servings immediately! You can grab the recipe here. I've been lucky enough to feature honey from my own hive. http://southbrooklynpost...pie-mavens-share-recipe/ And, for this year's work holiday party I made the Black Bottom Oatmeal Pie. Folks loved the black bottom, but the reviews were mixed. I may have made it too close to Thanksgiving so folks were coming off of family favorite Pecan Pies. I would make this again at a different time a year. Both of these called for the All-Butter Crust, which is a great recipe on it's own. It bakes up really nice and garnered its own compliments.
