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.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 egg yolks
1/2 c sugar
1/3 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2 c scalded milk
3/4 tsp vanilla
1 unbaked pie shell
oil

Steps:

  • 1. Beat eggs yolks slightly;beat in sugar, salt, nutmeg, scalded milk and vanilla. Brush pie shell lightly with oil. Pour egg mixture into pie shell. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake 25 to 30 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. The center may still look a bit soft but will set later. Baking too long makes custard watery. Best if served slightly warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give your custard pie a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating the eggs can make the custard pie tough.
  • Use a water bath: Baking the custard pie in a water bath will help to prevent it from cracking.
  • Don't overbake the pie: Overbaking the pie can make the custard dry and rubbery.
  • Chill the pie before serving: Chilling the pie before serving will help to set the custard and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Egg custard pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and creamy custard filling and flaky crust, it is sure to please everyone at the table. Follow these tips to make the perfect egg custard pie every time.
