Country Sugar Cream Pie

9-inch pie crust (unbaked)
1 cup sugar (white or brown)
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 cup light cream, warmed
3 Tbsp butter, softened
1/4 tsp nutmeg
                                                                               
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Line a 9-inch pie pan with rolled out dough, prick all over with a
fork, then press a piece of heavy-duty foil snugly into the pie
shell. Bake for about 6 minutes, remove the foil and bake about 4
minutes more until just beginning to brown. Remove from oven and
reduce heat to 350 degrees.

Sift the sugar, flour and salt into a bowl, and stir with a fork;
mix well.  Pour the sugar mixture into the pie shell and spread
evenly over the bottom. Pour cream over the sugar mixture, completely
covering. Dab the softened butter in bits over the cream. Sprinkle
the nutmeg evenly over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes
or until golden spots form on top. This may take as long as an hour.
The filling will seem liquid but will become more firm as it cools.
