Sugar Cream Pie

I was just taking a look at some of the forum questions on BlogFrog and realized that I've never posted my Sugar Cream Pie recipe! Pretty specific to Indiana and Pennsylvania, a holiday just wouldn't be right without a Sugar Cream Pie to sweeten it up. Read more on the history of Sugar Cream Pie here.

Bake it in my magic pie shell, but don't use an electric mixer of any sort to mix this! Make that mistake one time & you'll understand why it has to be mixed by hand. Fortunately it isn't tough at all, so mix one up quick & enjoy!

1 1/2 c Sugar
1/3 c Flour
2 T Salted Butter
2 c Whipping cream
Nutmeg to taste

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine sugar, flour, salt and butter. 
3. Stir in whipping cream and mix well. 
4. Add nutmeg to taste and stir. 
5. Pour into unbaked pie shell.
6. Bake for about an hour.
