Brits Try American Transparent Pie for the first time!

Today we’re heading to Kentucky 🇺🇸 (from our kitchen in the UK 🇬🇧) to make and taste the mysterious Transparent Pie for the very first time! 🥧✨ This frontier-era dessert has been around since the 1800s but is almost unknown outside of Kentucky. Some say it’s like a custard pie, others compare it to chess pie or even a pecan pie without the pecans… but what does it really taste like? And why is it called a transparent pie? 🤔 👉 In this video: We bake Transparent Pie from scratch using a traditional recipe. Share the frontier history of this rare American dessert. Discover if we nailed it… or completely messed up the recipe 😅. And of course, give you our honest first-time British family reaction – including our daughters Elana (age 3) and newborn Alissa 💕. Transparent Pie is rumored to be a favorite of George Clooney, who grew up in Kentucky – but will it win over our British taste buds? Why This Dessert Matters Transparent Pie was born out of the pioneer spirit – a recipe created when ingredients were scarce, using butter, eggs, sugar, cream, and flour. It’s a sweet reminder of America’s frontier cooking traditions. Join the Mr H and Friends Family Bus 🚌 We’re a British family exploring American food, culture, and traditions – one recipe at a time!
