How to Make Indiana Sugar Pie

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and spices until well combined.
Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Gently whisk the eggs into the milk mixture.
Pour the filling into your unbaked pie crust.
Carefully place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
Bake for 75 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center should be slightly jiggly.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly and prevents a messy pie.
Once completely cool, slice and enjoy your delicious Indiana Sugar Pie!
