Steps:
- Make the crust: Pulse the flour and salt in a food processor. Add the butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons ice water and pulse until the dough begins to come together (add more water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, if necessary). Turn out onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat into a disk; wrap tightly and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Roll out the dough into an 11-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp the edges with your fingers. Pierce the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate the crust until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Make the filling: Whisk the heavy whipping cream, sugar, flour and vanilla in a bowl. Pour into the chilled crust, dot with the butter and sprinkle the nutmeg on top. Carefully transfer the pie plate to the hot baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly in spots, about 55 more minutes (the center will still jiggle slightly); cover the crust edges with foil if they're browning too quickly. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

SUGAR CREAM PIE
A delicious sugar cream pie that is just like the ones my dad bought at Christmas time each year. I made this for my work Christmas party and it was the first pie to go. I'd love to take full credit for this recipe however it came from the southernfood site and was written by Diana Rattray. I've only modified it slightly.

Tips:
- Use a 9-inch pie plate for this recipe.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two forks or a food processor to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- When you're rolling out the dough, be sure to flour your work surface and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking.
- If you don't have a pie weight, you can use dried beans or rice to weigh down the pie crust while it's baking.
- Be sure to let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
