Caramel-Brown Sugar Pie - butter

Method

• Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
• Line an 8 inch pie pan with half of the pie dough.
• Roll out the remaining dough or crust into a round to top the pie.
• Stir the butter with the flour in a heavy saucepan over low heat to make a smooth paste.
• Whisk in the cream and sugar.
• Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer the filling until it thickens, about 3 minutes, whisking constantly.
• Add a small portion of the warm liquid to the eggs, then stir them into the pan.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Strain the filling into the lined pie pan.
• Top with the round of pie dough and crimp the edge decoratively to seal.
• Cut 4 to 5 slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
• Bake until the crust is nicely browned and the filling is set, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Serve with the fresh berries or peaches.
