I am not able to post the family recipe for Hot Fudge Sauce, for fear of being mortally wounded by my Mom. I got a special dispensation to share it with HH6 and one knifemaker who shall remain nameless (should he share the recipe, I will tell Mom, and he won't be happy with the reprisal).

Have you made this yourself? and what is the shell like after it bakes. I am somewhat surprise that it holds. The recipe for the dough is almost a Pate Sable in texture. They are always use as cake rounds; bake then sliced to scale for whatever recipe you are working using a filler, like a chocolate mousse,or hazelnut cream.
Edit to add: It also reminds me of a Pecan Pie.

Yes it is somewhat like a Pecan Pie but a little different. I have a completely different Pecan Pie recipe. My Pecan recipe uses Corn Syrup, Vanilla, etc.
I also like making this pie as small Tarts for Party's.
The Crust is always chilled and we normally make it the day before. When needed roll out the amount needed. It turns out great for us, not to stiff not to light. I have been making them since I was a kid. I would not mess with mom's way of making it........

I will let you fight it out with my Mom - she's an Oklahoma farm girl, nurse, and former AF Officer... I know the recipe did NOT begin it's life in a Betty Crocker Cookbook, it was given to my Mom by a friend of the family and it had been her family for years - one of her relatives was a chocolatier and came up with the recipe.
Yes, like any smart son, I am deathly afraid of my mother. I will face rampaging Mongol Hordes before I cross her, and the Mongols would do less damage.

In any case B, here is a recipie that I consider a family recipie, since it was passed on to me. Have enjoyed making this cake for a variety of different people.
(This cake has won over hardened army professors, and elite food critics alike.)
Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake
(Recipe courtesy Paula Deen)
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Cake:
1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
To make the cake:
Combine all of the ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Prepare filling.
To make the filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.
Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.
Serve with fresh whipped cream.

Bryan,
Yum!:)
It is funny though, even when dining out at some really great small places, they still cannot make a decent pie, with homemade crust. (Will have to post my grandma's cherry pie recipie...it has been in our family for years, when I get home.)
Cannot wait to try this pecan, as it is a new one for my "ametuer" self.;)
Thanks for sharing it!

Perhaps this qualifies.
Mrs. Paul Good was the wife of the sheriff in Robert Lee, Texas about 57 years ago. She had a particularly good recipe for pecan pie, which she shared - and which has been a family favorite ever since.
However, as a side note, she also cooked for the prisoners. And, too, she and the sheriff lived in quarters attached to the jail. So, technically speaking, I suppose this is jail food....
Mrs. Paul Good’s Pecan Pie
Three eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup melted butter
1 cup pecans
Beat eggs slightly, add sugar, syrup, salt, vanilla, and butter.
Line pie pan with pastry and put pecans, in a lawyer on bottom. Pour on mixture. Bake in moderate oven, 350°, 50 to 60 minutes.
This makes one pie.
