Shaker Sugar Cream Pie

Similar to a custard pie or chess pie, this dessert has just the right touch when you don't want something too heavy.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1  9 inch pie shell
• 1  cup heavy cream
• 1  cup half-and-half
• 1  cup sugar
• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3  tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1⁄4 teaspoon  grated nutmeg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, mix together cream, half and half, sugar, and flour (a whisk removes lumps easily).
3. Pour the mixture into the pie shell, dot with the butter and sprinkle the nutmeg on top.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes; reduce oven temp to 350 degrees.
5. Wrap edges of crust with foil to prevent excessive browning and bake 45 minutes more or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
