Another Hoosier food,

I believe.

* * * * * SUGAR CREAM PIE * * * * *

Even typing the word

makes me happy.

I can feel my tongue,

cruising my teeth,

and roof of my mouth 

searching for some

remnants of a recently eaten

Sugar Cream Pie.

The sad thing is,

Western New York

has no idea what it is.

Well, Gene said his mom
had heard of it 

but never ate any.
But she is the 
only one I know
who says this.

Butter,

sugar,

milk,

crust . . .

what a combination!

All are made similar,

but this is the recipe

I grew upon~

Combine and Beat Well: 

1 C Sugar
1 Egg
Pinch of salt
1 T (heaping) Butter


Add and beat again:
2 T (heaping) Flour


Add and to above mixture:
1 C Milk (whole)
1/2 tsp Vanilla 

Pour into unbaked pie shell.
Sprinkle with Nutmeg.


Bake in 425 degree oven for 10 - 15 minutes.


Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes.


Remove from oven and cool before serving.

 Makes my mouth water

just writing it down.

Dear Lord,

You have made the world a smorgasbord of tastes, but few foods would I  call blessings. Those few that I do place in this category make me feel safe and secure whenever I eat them. They bring back memories of a long lost time when life was simpler and I had no worries. Thank you SO MUCH for allowing me to have these memories and that they are still fresh and crisp in  my mind.

Amen
