What does it have in common with the Quakers? Both are quintessentially Indianian and part of the enduring legacy of the Hoosier State’s famous and practically-official Pie of the Hoosier State. It’s also called Hoosier Pie. Or Finger Pie. Or Sugar Cream. Or Hoosier Sugar Cream Finger Pie to keep everyone pleased. Every way, it sweet. And wholesome and fresh – and creamy, not eggy. Milky yes, but never eggy. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
