Cultural Context

Saw Dust Pie is a delightful dessert that hails from the American South, often enjoyed at family gatherings and potlucks. Its name reflects the texture of the coconut and pecans, resembling sawdust, yet it offers a rich and sweet flavor profile. Today, this pie is cherished for its simplicity and nostalgic appeal, often found in various regional adaptations across the United States.

3

Slowly add tablespoons of water to the flour, Crisco, and salt mix while mixing with a fork until it comes together.

Once incorporated, use hands to bring the dough together into a single ball.

Trim and shape the edges of the pie shell, making it look pretty.

Poke holes in the pie shell with a fork to prevent air bubbles while baking.

Separate 7 egg whites from the yolks using an egg separator, placing them in a larger bowl to avoid waste if a yolk breaks.

Add 1.5 cups of sugar to the egg whites in the mixing bowl.

10

Crush graham crackers to make 1.5 cups of crumbs, either by hand or using a food processor.

11

Add 1.5 cups of chopped pecans to the mixing bowl.
