Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Place the brown sugar and butter in a mixing bowl, and beat them together with an electric mixer until creamy and very well combined, without lumps. Beat in eggs, one at a time, incorporating the first egg before adding the next one. Add the vanilla extract and salt; beat the flour in, a little at a time, and then the milk, making a creamy batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes; remove pie, and cover the rim with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Return to oven, and bake until the middle sets and the top forms a crusty layer, about 15 more minutes. Let the pie cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

QUEBECOIS MAPLE CREAM PIE
I had the most amazing sugar pie in Quebec City, Canada at a restaurant called the Cochon Dingue. (The Crazy Pig). Their version is custardy versus the soft-fudgy/brown sugar ones that are a regional specialty. The pie tastes better if made 1 night (or more) before serving. Good luck on having it around for that long! Serve topped with creme fraiche, if desired.

Tips:
- To ensure a smooth and creamy filling, make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it's easy to handle.
- To prevent the crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the filling to set.
