How to Make Dutch Mill Sugar Cream Pie

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 cups whole milk until light and foamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the filling into your prepared 9-inch pie crusts. (You can use one deep-dish crust or two smaller ones).
  4. Sprinkle the top evenly with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and just slightly jiggly in the center. A knife inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to fully set and develop its rich texture.
