Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). |
| 2 | In a large bowl, mix together heavy cream, half-and-half, sugar, and flour until well combined. A whisk works great for this, ensuring a smooth mixture without any lumps. |
| 3 | Pour the creamy mixture into the prepared pie shell, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. |
| 4 | Dot the top of the pie filling with unsalted butter, distributing it evenly across the surface. Sprinkle dashes of nutmeg on top for that irresistible flavor. |
| 5 | Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Afterward, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). |
| 6 | Wrap the edges of the pie crust with foil to prevent excessive browning. Continue baking for an additional 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 7 | Once done, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. It’s best served slightly warm or at room temperature. |
