Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons butter , softened

Line a large 9-inch pie plate with rolled out pastry dough, prick with a fork and bake for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350

In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt.

Mix well and spread evenly over the bottom of the crust.

Warm cream in the microwave, (warm, not hot) and then carefully pour the warmed cream over the sugar mixture, completely covering it.

In bits, dab butter over the cream.

Bake at 350

F for 45 minutes to an hour, or until golden spots form on the top.

The filling will seem liquid but will become firmer as it cools.

A traditional Amish pie. It is thought to have been a treat during the Depression and for those laboring in the Dust Bowl.
