Pies and Cakes Shoo Fly Pie
Contributed by Harry Hoppes Margaretha's Oat Meat Pie 1/4 cup butter Mix together and spread into pie tin. Place in hollow of coals and heat through - 350 for 55 minutes. I've seen the hand written recipe for this and it does not have the measurements - the conversion would have been done by either, Hannah Tipton Hoppes or Mary Elizabeth North Hoppes. I have not tried this, but Aunt Ida has noted that it resembles a pecan pie with the flavor of an oatmeal cookie. Let me know if you try this, please.

Grease and flour two 8" round cake pans and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool 20 minutes and remove from pans and cool completel before frosting with your favorite icing either as individual cakes or staked as a layer cake. This cake is extremely moist.

Beating constantly pour in corn oil. Blend in dry ingredients alternately with pumpkin - begining and ending with dry ingredients. Beat till smooth and add walnuts. Pour into ungreased angel food cake pan and bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool completely before turning out of pan and drizzle with carmel icing. You want to bake a two - three days in advance - the longer it sits, the better it gets. A Thanksgiving tradition at our home.
