I am looking for an old recipe similar to the one my great grandmother made in the thirties. I was told she used brown sugar, eggs (whole), butter, milk, vanilla, and flour. She began by heating only the brown sugar in the pan until it got very brittle. She baked the pie but did not add a topping to it. Please help me!!!
