A delicious sugar cream pie that is just like the ones my dad bought at Christmas time each year. I made this for my work Christmas party and it was the first pie to go. I've only modified it slightly. Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) pie shells, baked |
1 cup sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 cups half-and-half |
5 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
6 tablespoons butter |
ground nutmeg |
ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix 1/2 cup of cold half and half with cornstarch until dissolved. Pour through sieve into pan once desolved. (This will help avoid lumps and give a smooth conistency).
2. Add to pan the sugar, reminder of half-and-half, and salt in saucepan. Cook to boiling point. Add vanilla and the butter; return to heat. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened.
3. Pour the mixture into pie shell and sprinkle with nutmeg and cinnamon.
4. Bake at 325° for 35 to 45 minutes or until firm and lightly browned.
