Old Fashioned Sugar Cream Pie
/1 cup sugar
5 T. Flour
Dash of salt
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup half-and- half
2 egg yolks
1 tsp. vanilla
Cinnamon
Directions: If a convection oven, preheat to 325. Regular oven, preheat to 350.
Mix the sugar with the flour until completely blended…completely blended is
essential. Add the salt and whipping cream. Blend the half-and- half with the yolks
and stir into the sugar mixture, then add the vanilla. Just blend the mixture; do not
beat it. Pour into an unbaked pie shell and sprinkle cinnamon on the top.
Bake the pie until the filling is completely set when the pie is jiggled or until it
bubbled through for 10 minutes. In convection oven, this takes an hour and 15
minutes. In a regular oven, start checking after an hour.
Comment: From Gerschuh’s Restaurant in Greenville, Ohio - an original drive-in
across from the Darke County Fair Grounds. Famous for all its pies, the Sugar
Cream Pie was the best seller.
