Sugar Cream Pie
Description
Sugar Cream Pie starts with a basic shortcrust pastry made from flour, salt, chilled shortening, and cold water. The dough is rolled out and placed in a 9-inch pie pan, with a decorative crimped edge. The filling combines heavy whipping cream with granulated sugar and a bit of flour, mixed until smooth. When poured into the crust and baked, the mixture thickens and sets into a creamy custard with a lightly browned top. The baking process crisps the crust edges and develops a golden color on the filling. After baking, the pie is cooled to room temperature, then chilled to fully set the custard. This results in a luscious, spoonable slice with a lightly sweet flavor and a delicate balance between the flaky crust and rich filling.
Serve this pie chilled, sliced into generous servings, ideal as a comforting dessert after meals or for special occasions where a simple but rich sweet treat is desired.
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons shortening chilled
- 1/2 cup water cold
Filling
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Add the shortening and 1/4 cup of the cold water. Using a fork, mix well.
- Knead the dough until a ball that isn’t sticky forms. Dribble a bit of the
- leftover water as you go along until you get the right consistency.
- Roll the dough out onto a floured surface using a rolling pin. Make it a nice big circle.
- Gently place dough inside a 9-inch greased pie pan and trim the excess dough from the edges. Pinch the edge of the dough between your thumb and fingers to make a crimped edge.
Filling
- Add the heavy cream, sugar, and flour in a large bowl. Use a hand mixer on medium to beat until smooth.
- Pour into the pie crust and bake for an hour. After an hour, check the top. If it’s a
- nice golden brown, you’re set to go. If it’s not, let it cook a while longer until it reaches a
- deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it come to room temperature.
- Chill for 2-4 hours before serving.
