It is the final week of our virtual road trip, and that means we've made it home to Maine! To celebrate our return home, Keith chose to make a classic Maine dessert: whoopie pies! There's some debate as to where whoopie pies were invented - both Pennsylvania and Maine claim them as their own. We Mainers obviously know the truth - they're from Maine! And they are such a beloved treat that Alaina's sister even had whoopie pies instead of cake at her wedding!
For this video, Keith is using a family recipe that is included below. Enjoy!
