Posted on April 10, 2010April 12, 2010 by Tom TruexRecipe: Old fashioned Cream Pie (Grandma Truex, modified) Old fashioned Cream Pie.Grandma Truex’ Recipe (modified) Summary: A fast, easy and delicious pie, with no top crust Ingredients Grace and Will Truex. This is her recipe, modified. 1 Tablespoon butter 6 Tablespoons flour 1 1/4 cup sugar, half white and half brown (i.e. about 5/8 cup of each) 1 egg* 1 1/3 cup milk* sprinkle a bit of cinnamon (optional)* Instructions Dab butter in an unbaked pie shell. Mix the flour and sugar in a bowl. Add the egg. Slowly add the milk as you stir. Add enough to make a paste first, and then gradually add in the rest of the milk. If you add the milk too quickly, it will not all dissolve, and you’ll get a crusty layer on top of the cream when it bakes. Mix well. Poor in the pie shell. Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top (optional). Bake at 390 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake until thick. After about another 20 or 30 minutes (50-60 minutes total, from when first placed in oven), a toothpick should come out clean. Refrigerate after it cools. Some people like to eat cream pie warm. I prefer it after it’s been in the refrigerator for a day. *[note, the original recipe called for 1 1/3 cup milk & cream (half milk and half cream), with no egg. Instead, I use all milk and add an egg. Also, the original recipe did not call for any cinnamon.] CulinaryTradition: USA (Traditional) My rating: 5.0 stars
