This may just be one of the easiest cream pie recipes you'll ever taste. It comes to us from an Amish woman in the Choteau, Oklahoma settlement. Not sure why it is called "Angel Cream Pie" maybe because it is so sweet and light that it has sort of a divine feel. Cream pie seems to be especially a staple among the Indiana Amish. Sugar cream pie (pictured) is mainstay of Amish kitchens there, but you don't see it as much in other Amish areas.
This is a version of a sugar cream pie, but plainer, probably more reflective of the Oklahoma Amish tradition...be sure to use the freshest cream you can get your hands on.
- 1 /2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 /8 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups of cream, warmed slightly
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
