I have made this pie several times now, and it's the best. Sugar Cream Pie is my husband's favorite pie in the world, so when I found this recipe, I was excited to try it. It was wonderful, my husband asks for it all the time. I have made this pie with both salted and unsalted butter and prefer it with the salted butter. It just has much better flavor. Thank you for sharing this recipe E. Sexton, I'm sure it will be in our family for generations to come!

Ive made several various recipes, this is the best, not quite a Wicks, but is wonderful. A secret is to use very a very fresh jar of nutmeg on top,if yours is old, get new, it makes a difference!! Im going to use fresh and grate it next time.

this is excellent and not too heavy. Next time I make it I plan to put fresh fruit around the top, because I think the combination will be great.

This is the first sugar cream pie I have ever made and it turned out PERFECT! I made it for Christmas Day to share with family and it got rave reviews! I left it in the oven longer than what it said (wanted to make sure it was hot all the way through so it would set up right) I had to be extremely careful taking it in and out of the oven so it wouldn't spill. I used a 9 inch pie pan instead of 8 (didn't have one), and it filled it to the top. After it cooled, it set up perfectly. I will definately make this again!

Not sure if the 5 minutes in the oven is correct......I left it in for 30 minutes and it never set up. The pie was ok tasting but nothing that I would make again.

Perfect! I made just as stated, only I baked it for 10 minutes instead of 5. This recipe is a keeper for sure. I have made three of these now to rave reviews from family at a reunion. Everyone states they think it is better than Wicks brand. Thanks for sharing! Is this from the Durbin Hotel in Rushville, Indiana? If so, they were known for their wonderful food!

I made this for my Father who absolutely LOVES sugar cream pie, and he ate every bit except for the one piece I got to eat myself ^_^ Much tastier than a wick's and definitely worth the effort.

I have tried several recipes because this is my husbands favorite pie. They all have failed miserably, BUT this pie is OUTSTANDING! So smooth, rich and creamy. Tastes so much like the WICKS sugar cream. This will be my final search for the pie...thankyou

Very tasty, but the double boiler part did not work so well for me. I finally bagged the double boiler and just put the pot on the stove with direct heat while monitoring it very closely, and it was fine. You DO have to bring it to a boil for a minute or two; just not longer than that. The flavor and texture of the pie was great though, and it did set up well for me. Will make again!

I was not familiar with Sugar Cream Pie, and maybe that's the problem, but when I made this I was a little disappointed (granted, my crust turned out horribly, so I'm sure it was partially my fault). It just didn't have as much flavor as I like in a pie, but again, the more delicate flavor (like rice pudding) may be the norm. Personally, though, if I'm going for a mellow flavor, I think I'll stick with the rice! Will probably give another chance, though...

This pie is wonderful, I had never had sugar cream pie before and was making it for a co-worker. I decided to make two for my husbands grandparents and they loved it. Actually everyone did, they all said it couldn't have been better - and trust me these people know their sugar cream pies! I just made it two days ago and already people are wanting more! Once again this is the best recipe out there for sugar cream pie.

This recipes holds memories for me. I thought I would never find a better one. Eating at the Durbin Hotel was part of my childhood. Sugar cream pie is a lesson in patience.

Never heard of a sugar cream pie until my 90-something neighbor cheerfully reminisced about her younger days and she happened to mention her misadventure with a sugar cream pie that ended up in the Connecticut River! Fortunately, this recipe was more successful and I enjoy this humble pie in her honor.

Wonderful recipe! I made exactly as the recipe stated and it was perfect. I can't wait for an occasion to make this again. Tastes just like the Wicks pies I used to get in Indiana. Thank-you!

Flavor was excellent. Made this for my son Patrick who says it is good but Wicks is a little better. Our only problem was it not setting up. Does anyone know what those of us who have this problem are doing wrong?

Our first effort set up and tasted just like it did 35 years ago. I only wish a Dusing, Ball, or Durbin were here to cut it. We jokingly searched for and then found this recipe. Nice to reminesce via our taste buds. Thanks for the posting.

Sorry, didn't like this at all. It took about 20 mins before the filling even started to get thick. Then after being in the fridge overnight it set up to a gooey consistancy. The taste was like overly sweet flour. There was no flavour to it at all. Think I will stick to egg based fillings from now on!

I had never heard of sugar cream pies before. I was looking for a recipe for banana cream pie, but decide to try this instead. Took it to a family dinner (put bananas in the base) and the family loved it. Incredibly rich! Oh... I forgot the nutmeg and it was still great.
