Grandma's Easy Egg Custard Pie Recipe...Cin image

My Grandmother used to make egg custard pies for me `cause they were my fav, and she loved them too.

Provided by Straws Kitchen(*o *)

Categories     Pies

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large eggs
2/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 c whole milk* (note below)
1 tsp pure vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Wisk all ingredients together, pour into a 9 1/2" deep dish pie plate lined with an unbaked pie pastry crust. Bake at 340 dF for approximately 1-hr 10-min or until set in the middle. Cover the pastry crust edges with a pie shield or foil after being in oven about 30 minutes; so it does not get tooo brown.
  • 2. *NOTE: I wanted to use sour milk instead so... I made 'sour milk' by adding 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice (can also use distilled white vinegar) in a 4-cup measuring vessel and adding the whole milk. Just gave it a stir and let set about 15 minutes to thicken and looked like it was begining to curdle.

EASY CUSTARD PIE



Easy Custard Pie image

When we married, in December 1961, I still hadn't met his parents. In August 1962, we went to Fall City, WA, so that I could really connect with his folks. I watched eagerly as Grandma made delicious meals with little effort. One of the desserts that she prepared was custard pie. I asked her to teach me how to make one, but she...

Categories     Pies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 9-in. unbaked pie crust
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 c scalded milk
nutmeg to sprinkle on top of pie

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 450. If your oven tends to run a bit hot, cover the edges of the pie crust with strips of foil.
  • 2. Thoroughly mix eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla.
  • 3. Gradually add scalded milk; pour immediately into unbaked pie shell. (To avoid spills, fill at the oven. I always put foil underneath the pie just in case any filling boils over. Burned milk is a mess to clean up, and it smells awful!)
  • 4. Sprinkle top with as much nutmeg as you want. We like a lot!
  • 5. Bake about 20 minutes or until a table knife inserted 1" from the side of filling comes out clean. The filling may look a little bit soft, but it will set later.
  • 6. This pie is best served slightly warm with either Cool Whip or whipped cream on top; however, we love it cold with toppings, too.
