It just had to be a pie day. To me, there is nothing better than baking an old, yet treasured recipe. This pie was one that Miss Annie Dean used to make and serve when we had spend the night parties. I was the younger sister that was a "tag-along" with the big girls. Annie Dean was held in high regard as one of the best cooks in Mississippi. This recipe was originally published on the back of a Pet Milk evaporated milk can. It's easy to prepare and turns out perfectly each time. Miss Annie knew how much Daddy liked this pie, so she often made two and brought him one as a little surprise!

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter

½ cup Evaporated Milk

1 t. vanilla
