   2 1/4  cups          coffee cream
     1/2  teaspoon      vanilla
   3      drops         yellow food coloring
     1/2  cup           plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
     1/8  teaspoon      salt
   1      cup           plus 2 tablespoons sugar

     1/2  teaspoon      nutmeg
   1      10-inch       pie crust -- unbaked

Combine coffee cream, vanilla and food coloring; let stand without stirring
 while preparing other ingredients. 
Stir salt into flour; gradually stir in 1/3 of the cream mixture,
 blending with a wire whisk or fork as you pour. Stir in sugar.
 Stir in remaining cream; let stand 20 minutes
stirring occasionally. 

Line 10-inch Pyrex pie plate with unbaked pastry; pinch crust high.
 Sprinkle nutmeg on bottom of crust. Dot with butter. 
Pour in filling. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 15 minutes;
 reduce heat to 325 degrees and continue baking for 45 minutes longer; 
shake every 15 to 20 minutes during baking

Note from the Star: 
"Probably no other dessert conjures up nostalgia like the mention of
 Old-Fashioned Sugar Cream Pie.
It was also called "finger pie" since the filling was stirred with the finger
 to prevent breaking the bottom crust. T
he farmer's wife used to skim the yellow thick cream
from the top of the chilled fresh milk to make this delectable dessert."
