Wick's Sugar Cream Pie Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cups whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Ground cinnamon, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp or flute the edges for a decorative touch.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the milk to the dry mixture, whisking constantly to ensure no lumps remain.
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the filling cool for a few minutes.
- Pour the warm filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
- If desired, lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top of the filling for added flavor and a touch of elegance.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
