Sugar Cream Pie: The Official Pie of Indiana?

The Indiana Foodways Alliance has requested a resolution for the Indiana legislature to declare sugar cream pie the state pie of Indiana. They claim it would help promote Indiana food tourism. An article on the WIBC website also notes that sugar cream pie may have been invented by Quakers from North Carolina who settled in Indiana in the early 1800s. The slice of sugar cream pie pictured above comes from Nick’s Kitchen of Huntington, IN. You can read Michael Stern’s Roadfood.com review of Nick’s here.

Still have never had a piece of sugar cream pie. Sounds like a good goal for 2009.

I've never tried it either but I imagine it to be a close cousin to chess pie. It looks great, doesn't it?

I put my recipe for my sugar cream pie on one of the trip reporet forums that buffetbuster started. It is very easy pie to make and it tastes so good especially right out of the oven.

Many years ago, living in Richmond, Indiana, my Aunt (Freda Eilers) was the cashier at Jim Garner's Restaurant near 11th street and Main.

They had a pastry chef who prepared the best Sugar Cream Pie I have ever tasted. If I am not mistaken, Ina Burton, who worked as an elevator operator at Vigran's, contributed the recipe.

It was a real treat to take a forkful of the rich, creamy textured pie into one's mouth and let it melt away!! I loved it epsecially when sometimes the chef would let some of the sugar on top of the pie carmalize.

WHAT MEMORIES.
