18. what exactly is a sugar cream pie?

[Arugula Latte]

32. Well, it's pretty much what it sounds. Lots of cream, sugar, and vanilla.

I guess it's a midwestern/Indiana tradition. It's GOOD, but very rich. I made the mistake of sampling it right after dinner, and now I'm stuffed to the gills.

This is the recipe I used. (BTW, I didn't mix the ingredients in the pie shell; I just stirred them in a bowl):

Klemann Family Sugar Cream Pie
Susan Karina Dickey sats: This is my mother’s recipe handed down from her mother who descended from a pioneer Quaker family. My mother uses the dry method and uses her finger for stirring. My mother told me that finger stirring in the unbaked crust is necessary so as not to whip the cream before baking. She sprinkles fresh grated nutmeg over the top before baking.

Pastry for 9-inch one crust pie
3/4 cup granulated pure cane sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whole nutmeg

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare pie pastry.

Place sugar and flour in the unbaked pie shell. Add cream and mix well using your fingers to slowly mix the dry and liquid ingredients (the prevent the cream from whipping). Add vanilla extract to the mixture and continue stirring with your fingers. Grate nutmeg over the top.

Bake 10 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and continue baking approximately 1 hour. Remove from oven. NOTE: Do not over bake. The pie may appear runny but usually sets as it cools. Over baking seems to break down the sugar and the pie never solidifies. If the pie doesn’t set, get out some spoons and enjoy it anyway.

Although you may refrigerate the pie, it usually isn’t necessary to get it to set.

Clio the Leo posted another similar recipe here on DU a few days ago in connection with Obama's pie fetish. :) That's what gave me the idea.
