Durbin Hotel Sugar Cream Pie

"The pie was easy to make and the flavor was wonderful, however, the pie did not set up. The recipe calls to "simmer" the ingredients. Thickening agents such as cornstarch do not come to their full t..." See morehickening power until boiled -- I will boil for just a minute or two next time I make this pie to see if that helps it set up."

"Very tasty, but the double boiler part did not work so well for me.

"An authentic Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie does not have a prepared cooked filling. The ingredients are combined and poured into an unbaked pie shell. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Bake the filled pie at 4..." See more50 for 10 minutes, then lower oven to 325 degrees and bake for 50-60minutes until you can insert a knife in the center of pie and it comes out clean. You may have to cover crust with foil for first 35 minutes or so to prevent it from over browning. Here in Indiana we use flour, not cornstarch to thicken our cream pie. We use WHOLE milk for the milk too. If you prefer to make it more traditionally, cut the butter down to 1/4 cup and add it by teaspoon into pie shell after you pour the filling into it. Sprinkle nutmeg over top. Sorry to make so many changes but this is how we do it here in In and our pies always set up very well.I sell many many cream pies throughout the year. Yum. This recipe has a rich history here in Indiana where it began in the Amish community when they ran out of their winter apples. Also was baked in the Shaker community in Eastern Indiana."
