I grew up in Marshalltown and remember this was the highlight after dinner at this historic restaurant. It’s a great recipe that is HUGE in volume, but it is suprisingly light and airy.
When I was in band back in the ’60’s our band was in Marshalltown and I had the pie. It was so good I got a copy of the recipe and gave it to my mom who made the pie. She made it once around 1967, and the recipe was lost. For 42 years I’ve wondered if I would ever find a copy of this again, and here it is. Thanks so much.
im also looking for the Chicken casserole recipe that stones served on Wed.
My mother ran the Pella Coffee Shop, about 30 miles South of Marshalltown and she loved Stone’s, Iowa’s oldest continuously operated restaurant. She also knocked off this recipe, except she frosted the pie with whipped cream.
what size of pie does this recipe make
