Dive into the heart of Indiana with this classic Sugar Pie, a sweet, creamy delight that captures the essence of simple, old-fashioned baking.
Ingredients:
1 9-inch pie crust
4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp cold butter (do not use margarine!)
1 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch grated nutmeg
Directions:
Prepare Filling: In a food processor, blend flour, butter, sugar, and salt until smooth. Pour into the unbaked pie shell.
Add Cream: Gently mix in the cream using your finger to ensure the mixture is even, taking care not to tear the pie crust.
Add Milk and Vanilla: In a measuring cup, combine milk and vanilla. Pour this mixture over the cream layer in the pie shell. Do not stir! Generously sprinkle the top with grated nutmeg.
Bake: Place the pie on the center rack of a preheated 300°F (149°C) oven. Bake for 1 and a half hours, or until the filling is wiggly but set.
Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool before slicing. Serve each piece with a strong note of self-control as it’s hard to eat just one slice!
Pro Tip: This pie is perfect when you’re looking for something sweet and comforting. Its creamy texture and rich flavor are sure to make it a hit!
