Day 6 of turning slay the princess princesses into desserts

The bottom is water depression pie, with the water coming from the Long Quiet’s cups to show their choices is what made the Drowned Grey the way she is. One side is Victorian Mourning cookies, a reference to how she is an PARLLEL to the burned grey, being the Widow, and the other side is cookies from the Pittsburg Cookie Traiditoin, which is usually given during weddings.

Looking for ways to save money in the kitchen without sacrificing flavor? In this video, Nicole makes 10 Great Depression–era recipes that prove resourceful cooking can still be delicious nearly a century later. From pantry staples to clever substitutions, she shares thrifty tips and techniques inspired by home cooks of the 1930s — all while whipping up comforting, old-fashioned meals that stand the test of time.

Nicole then makes a simple Egg Drop Soup, crispy Stuffed Potato Pancakes, and savory Eggs with Peppers and Potatoes that turn humble ingredients into something special. Next up are Cabbage and Noodles, creamy Chipped Beef on Toast, and homemade Depression Bread that’s easy, soft, and satisfying. Finally, she brings a touch of sweetness with Water Pie and Wacky Cake — two desserts that stretch ingredients while still feeling indulgent.

This is the recipe I’m using! I made some strong coffee and waited for it to cool for the liquid component. Threw in a little ground nutmeg to up the flavor. Took some advice to grate the butter so it would be more even and not discolor the top.

Fresh out of oven! Very liquidy and bubbling. Wish I had a blow torch for the top. Crust looks maybe too browned?  Smells great and I hope it will set up.

Part of me is weirded out by the idea of water pie; the other part is curious to try it….

I made a water pie today. It's a recipe from the Great Depression, and it's a lot better than it sounds. Most of the butter moved to one side when it was in the fridge.
