Sugar Milk Pie
I found this recipe in my late Mom’s recipe box. It was cut out of a newspaper….very old and yellowed. I wish it would have had a date, I bet it was from the depression (the one in 1929) or maybe even earlier. It was so fragile I was almost afraid to pick it up. Reading the ingredients, I was intrigued. A pie with only 3 ingredients? I had to try it!
It is similar to a custard pie, but not as heavy. I usually put cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg in mine, though I have made it with coconut, which is delicious! It really is versatile, you can even make a chocolate version by adding cocoa powder and chocolate chips sprinkled on top. My husband’s favorite is orange, I just put a few drops of orange extract in the filling and zest some orange peel on top.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
2 cups real cream
Pie shell (homemade or store bought)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine sugar and flour in a mixing bowl
Hand wisk in cream a bit at a time
When thoroughly mixed, pour into pie shell
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the filling is set
You can serve it hot, but I prefer to chill mine and serve it cold with some nice hot tea. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does!
Do you mean light cream or heavy cream...or even half and half?
