Mae Dawsons's Hoosier or sugar cream pie

I made this for my friend. It's easy and delicious. I made mine into mini pies using a round cookie cutter and cupcake baking dish.

Ingredients

2 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
3/4 cup milk
1/2 pint (1-cup) whipping cream
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, unsifted
1 1/3 cup sugar
pinch nutmeg

For the 9 inch pie shell

1/3 cup plus 1 T. Butter, softened, diced

1 c. Flour

1/4 t. Salt

4 T. Cold water

In a bowl, mash butter with salt into flour. Once well incorporated, slowly add water. If you add too much water, add extra flour when you are rolling out on a floured surface. 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F

Combine sugar, flour, cream, and milk in a mixing bowl. Pour into pie shell. Dot butter bits all around top of pie. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake for approximately 10 minutes, and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook for approximately 30 more minutes. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until chilled. Serve chilled.

Cook’s Note: If using a glass baking dish, lower oven temperature by 25 degrees F.
