Sugar Pie

From the kitchen of Millie Curry

This is an old recipe from the 20's.

1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell

Combine and mix well:

3 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups light cream (half-and-half)
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Pour into pie shell and bake at 375 degrees F until golden brown. Test as for custard or pumpkin pie, inserting knife in center and if it comes out clean, it is done. (I test by shaking pie slightly and if the center does not move, it is done.)
