Amish Sugar Cream Pie

Not Mom's recipe . . but pretty good anyway.
This will be Easter Dessert.

Don't I unroll a "pretty" ready made pie crust? LOLOL


Amish Sugar Cream Pie

3/4 C granulated Sugar
2 1/2 C Half-and-Half
1/8 tsp Salt
1/4 C Brown Sugar
1/4 C Cornstarch
1/2 C Butter, cut up
1 tsp Vanilla
9" lightly baked pie crust
Cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. In a saucepan combine brown sugar and cornstarch.

3. In a medium to large saucepan, combine sugar, salt and half-and-half. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally.

4, When mixture comes to a boil, remove from stove and gradually whisk it into the brown sugar mixture.

5. Add butter pieces;  over medium heat, cook, whisking constantly, 5 minutes or until boiling and thickened.. Simmer 1 minute.

6. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

7. Pour into prepared pie shell; sprinkle with cinnamon. (Any extra can be cooked along side the pie in a custard cup.)

8. Bake 20 minutes or until top is golden.

9. Cool on a wire rack; pie filling will be loose but will thicken on cooling. MUST be cooled completely before serving.

    1. Half and Half is half whole milk and half cream.

      In Mom's recipe, which I will add one day, she used only milk and it is still my favorite version of Sugar Cream Pir.
