I have lived in Indiana for over 6 years now and while I still don’t fully know where the term “Hoosier” originally came from, I have learned to love the down home Midwest cooking styles I often find in Indiana. Indiana is known for its Sugar Cream Pie. Yum! This custard-like pie is made with delicious ingredients including plenty of cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
