OLD - FASHIONED SUGAR CREAM PIE 
3/4 c. sugar, granulated
3 tbsp. flour, rounded or heaping
2 c. milk or half & half
Dash of salt

Mix ingredients in unbaked pie shell, using fingertips. Dot with butter and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes. Pie will thicken as it cools.

You may use half brown sugar and half granulated sugar, if you wish.

Back in Grandma's day, ingredients were not measured precisely. Grandma could tell by "feel" if there was enough flour. Therefore, you may need to increase or decrease the amount of flour, judging by the consistency of the finished product. It should not be soupy! I have not had an oven for awhile and therefore could not verify the exact measurement. Play with it and then be sure to write down the amount of flour you used!
