INDIANA SUGAR CREAM PIE



Indiana Sugar Cream Pie image

Also known as Hoosier pie, this regional specialty pairs a buttery crust with a rich vanilla custard filling. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 713.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the Pate Brisee: Pulse flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor (or whisk together by hand in a bowl). Add butter and pulse (or quickly cut in with a pastry blender or your fingertips) until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some larger pieces remaining. Drizzle 1/4 cup water over mixture. Pulse (or mix with a fork) until mixture just begins to hold together. If dough is too dry, add 1/4 cup more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse (or mix with a fork).
  • Divide dough in half onto two pieces of plastic wrap. Gather into two balls, wrap loosely in plastic, and press each into a disk using a rolling pin. Refrigerate until firm, well wrapped in plastic, 1 hour or up to 1 day. Dough can be frozen up to 3 months; thaw in refrigerator before using.
  • Make the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. (Reserve remaining disk for another use.) Fit dough into a 9-inch pie dish and press into bottom edges and up the sides. Trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang; fold edge under and crimp as desired. Freeze 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with the rack located in the lower third. Line crust with parchment paper, gently pressing the parchment into the edges of the crust; weigh down parchment with dried beans or pie weights.
  • Bake until the edges of the pastry begin to turn golden, about 25 minutes. Carefully remove pie weights and parchment paper. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown in color, about 15 minutes more. Transfer the crust to a wire rack to cool slightly.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add flour and cook, whisking, over medium heat for 2 minutes (do not let flour darken). Whisk in milk, cream, sugar, and vanilla. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain mixture into cooled crust and bake until filling is slightly set, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

EASY AMISH SUGAR CREAM PIE



Easy Amish Sugar Cream Pie image

Sweet and creamy, this rich Amish pie may have a slightly softer texture than the typical custard pies you are used to. It also has a bit of a unique flavor, which almost tastes like brown sugar.

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Pie

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 pie, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 9" unbaked pie shell
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups sugar

1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 dash nutmeg
1 dash cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Combine ingredients thoroughly using whisk.
  • Pour into pie shell.
  • Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 325°F, and bake for 45-55 minutes more, wrapping edges of pie crust with foil, if necessary, to prevent excessive browning (pie will appear slightly soft in center when done).
  • Cool and refrigerate completely before cutting (it will firm up a little more as it sits).

HOOSIER SUGAR CREAM PIE



Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes; 4 tablespoons chilled, 3 tablespoons frozen for 15 minutes
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust: Combine the vinegar with 1/2 cup ice water in a small bowl.
  • Pulse the flour, salt and sugar in a food processor until combined. Add the 4 tablespoons chilled butter and pulse until the butter is in pea-sized clumps and the mixture is sandy. Add the 3 tablespoons frozen butter; pulse until the frozen butter is also in pea-sized clumps. Add 5 tablespoons of the vinegar mixture; pulse 2 or 3 more times. Squeeze a small amount of dough between your fingers. If it does not stay together easily, add 1 more tablespoon of the vinegar mixture and pulse 3 or 4 more times. (Do not let the dough come together.) Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gather into a lumpy ball; flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle, about -inch thick. Fit into an 8-inch pie plate and trim the extra dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang; reserve trimmings. Fold the edges under the rim and crimp. Refrigerate the crust until firm, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line the chilled crust with foil and fill with pie weights or dry beans. Bake until the edges are golden, 15 minutes. Remove the foil and weights; continue baking until the center of the crust is dry and golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly on a wire rack. Cover any cracks in the crust with the dough trimmings before filling.
  • Prepare the filling: Whisk the sugars and the flour in a medium bowl, breaking up any clumps of brown sugar. Combine the heavy cream and vanilla in a separate bowl and slowly whisk into the sugar mixture until smooth. Pour the filling into the prepared crust; bake until the pie begins to set around the edge but is still slightly wobbly in the middle, 40 minutes. (Tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes if the crust gets too dark.) Cool to room temperature on a wire rack, then refrigerate until ready to serve. Dust with confectioners' sugar before slicing.

  • Do not overmix the crust: Overmixing will make the crust tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind bake the crust: This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Use a water bath: This will help the filling cook evenly and prevent it from curdling.
  • Do not overcook the filling: Overcooking will make the filling tough and grainy.
  • Chill the pie before serving: This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.
