Amish Sugar Cream Pie image

This recipe originated in the Old World, and it's a favorite of many Amish families. The recipe has undergone changes over the years so that it largely remains a "by scratch" recipe but still incorporates staple baking products that are commonly stocked in U.S grocery stores. It's creamy, smooth and delicious, and you'll easily...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole cream (i.e., heavy cream or whipping cream)
2 cups half & half
3 large egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 round Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 dash salt (important - don't omit)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (9-inch) pie shell, unbaked
a few tsp white sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • 2. In a medium size saucepan, heat the cream and half & half together until lightly scalded (it should coat the back of a spoon but should NOT reach a boil). Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add the white sugar, and beat until well blended. Add the brown sugar, flour, salt and vanilla, and beat well.
  • 4. Gradually whisk the warmed cream mixture to the egg white mixture, and mix well.
  • 5. Pour the creamy pie batter into the unbaked pie shell. (If you like, you can sprinkle a light dusting of sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg on the surface - it's purely optional.) Place pie pan in bottom rack of oven, and bake about 20 to 30 minutes or until set.
