Recipe for Impossible pie please

Options
Hello MSE'rs
I can't find my recipe for Impossible Pie - the pudding where all ingredients get mixed together and when it's cooked the layers separate - just like magic.
I would like to make it with my granddaughter but cannot find my recipe anywhere!  It's not where it should be, where it could be or even in a safe place 🤷‍♀️

Can anyone help?

thank you

  • Quite a few recipes online if you google 'impossible pie'. I'm not sure if I can add a link. 
  • This post takes me back! Whilst a student back in the 90s we got together one evening to make a chocolate pudding. Once the batter was in, water, cocoa and sugar were added and when it came out of the oven, rather than looking like the world's worst disaster, the cake was perfect and surrounded by a moat of chocolate sauce.

    There's a recipe in the list at the beginning of the thread for Coconut Impossible Pie.  Is that what you want?  Here's the link:  https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/10385419#Comment_10385419

    Impossible Quiche

     1½ cups grated cheese

    ½ cup SR flour

    1 onion, finely chopped

    1½ cups milk

    4 eggs

    Salt & pepper

     Optional extras :- 3 rashers bacon (chopped); mushrooms; spinach; garlic; parsley.

      

    Mix together all the ingredients - but DO NOT BEAT.

     

    Pour into a greased dish (I use my Pyrex casserole)

     

    Bake at Gas 4, 180°C until set and a knife comes out clean - approx 45 mins to 1 hour - depends on depth of dish.

    Thank you @Cressida100 - I did look on line and found a few but thought I might be a bit more trusting of the good folk on here sharing their versions.  Also there were so many adverts on the online recipes that I was getting very irritated 🙃

    @Rosa_Damascena - that pudding sounds delicious.  

    @joedenise - thank you.  How daft of me not to look here 🤦‍♀️

    Can't wait for a serving of impossible pie later!

    thanks @Frugalista - I didn't realise that there was a savoury version too.  I might give that a try next week for lunch

    granddaughter is home from school so cooking will commence soon
    wish us luck!

    I'm not sure about the not beating element - does that make it tough? Recipe looks like a cheese (plus) pancake to me.

    I’d like to try the impossible recipes, but my cake and quiche tin are both loose bottomed, so I suspect they’d leak.  I do have a springform tin - do people think that would work?

    Line it with greaseproof, cut it to the size of the bottom and sides in one piece, run under the tap, scrumple, then fit to the dish.
