For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom can add a warm, aromatic note. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Serve warm or cold, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.

A comforting and rustic pie, reminiscent of classic Pennsylvania Dutch baking. This simple milk and sugar pie, often made for children, transforms leftover pie dough into a surprisingly delightful treat. Don't let its humble appearance fool you—its flavor is a heartwarming surprise.
