Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Sugar Cream Pie.
Step 1
Start by combining the milk, sugar, and butter in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture gently as it heats, allowing the butter to melt completely, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist!
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, take about 1 cup of this warm milk mixture and pour it into a bowl. Now, whisk in the cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect creamy texture!
Step 3
Pour the milk-cornstarch mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining milk mixture. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. You'll notice it thickening up beautifully in about 5 to 10 minutes. Keep stirring to prevent any sticking or burning!
Step 4
Once thickened, pour this luscious milk mixture into your pre-baked pie crust. Don't forget to sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top for that extra touch of flavor!
Step 5
Now, it's time for the pie to chill. Place it in the refrigerator and let it firm up for about 3 hours. This waiting period is the hardest part, but trust me, it's worth it!
