Indiana's food scene seamlessly blends Southern classics and Midwestern staples. One simple-yet-tantalizing dish serves as its state pie — sugar cream pie.

This pie is made of sugar, cream, and flour whipped and flavored with a splash of vanilla and a grate of nutmeg. This filling is then poured into a standard pie crust and baked.

The heat makes the filling into a thick, rich, pale yellow and custard-like. The vanilla and nutmeg bring a light spice to the sweet taste, all supported by a flaky, buttery crust.

Pair the pie with coffee or black tea for the most authentic experience. Though it’s easy to make, there are plenty of Indiana restaurants where you can enjoy an authentic slice.
