This is an even simpler recipe that I grew up with (I've looked at the other recipes for Poor Man's Pie and Sugar Cream Pie - the other name for this type pie.) My grandmother's recipe was a 2-2/3-3 formula. It was called Poor Man's Pie because farmers always had the ingredients handy.
Ingredients:
2 cups heavy cream (whipping cream)
2/3 cup sugar (you can use white or brown, but grandma always used white.)
3 tablespoons flour
butter, pats
nutmeg
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 350º.
2. Mix the cream, sugar, and flour.
3. Pour into an unbaked 8 pie shell.
4. Float several thin pats of butter on top.
5. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg.
6. Bake at 350º for 30-45 minutes or until top is a nice golden brown.
7. Chill, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
