Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Butter
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Plain Flour
1 1/2 cups Milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter.
In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar and softened butter together until smooth and completely lump-free. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Gradually beat in the flour, then slowly add the milk, mixing until a smooth, creamy batter forms.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie dish and level the surface.
Bake for about 35 minutes. Remove the pie, cover the edges with foil to prevent over-browning, then return to the oven for a further 15 minutes, until the centre is set and a thin crust has formed on top.
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Tips

Use heavy cream with at least 35% fat to ensure the filling sets into a rich, fudge-like consistency.
Don’t overmix the sugar and cream; just stir until combined to avoid creating too many air bubbles.
Allow the pie to cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the fridge; it must be cold to slice cleanly.

Variations

Maple Sugar Pie: Substitute the brown sugar with maple sugar for a more intense, authentic Quebecois flavor.
Vanilla Bean: Add the seeds of one vanilla bean to the cream for a more sophisticated aroma.
