Sugar Pie

The method

1. 01

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.

2. 02

   Place the brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl, and beat them together with an electric mixer until creamy and very well combined, without lumps.

3. 03

   Beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating the first egg before adding the next one.

4. 04

   Add the vanilla extract and salt; beat the flour in, a little at a time, and then the milk, making a creamy batter.

5. 05

   Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.

6. 06

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes; remove pie, and cover the rim with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

7. 07

   Return to oven, and bake until the middle sets and the top forms a crusty layer, about 15 more minutes.

8. 08

   Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
