CLASSIC EGG CUSTARD PIE WITH LOTS OF NUTMEG



Classic Egg Custard Pie with Lots of Nutmeg image

Old-fashioned yet quietly innovative, this custard pie juxtaposes two ordinarily opposing forces -- satisfyingly creamy and ethereally light -- within a single filling. It's also unsparing with the spice and all the better as a result.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

All-purpose flour, for surface
Sweet Pastry Dough for Custard Pie
1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups whole milk
12 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons arrowroot
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for sprinkling
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch-thick round. Fit into a 9-by-2-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Line with parchment, and fill shell with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove beans and parchment, and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • With the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a saucepan, and add pod. Add cream and milk, and bring to a simmer. Remove pan from heat, and cover. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Whisk together yolks and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, add warm cream mixture in a slow, steady stream. Add arrowroot and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into cooled crust. Skim foam from surface.
  • Bake until edges of filling are set but center is still slightly wobbly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). Before serving, unmold, sprinkle with nutmeg, and dust with confectioners' sugar.

GRANDMA'S EASY EGG CUSTARD PIE RECIPE...CIN



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.

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.

S & W CAFETERIA EGG CUSTARD PIE



S & W Cafeteria Egg Custard Pie image

This recipe was originally published in the Charlotte Observer sometime in the 1960s. I recently found it going through some of my Mother's recipe clippings and knew I had to make it again, as much for the memories as the taste of this great southern tradition. I lost my Mother in 2002, but going to the S&W in Asheville on Saturdays for lunch with my parents will always remain a special memory for me. Mother, without fail, had the Egg Custard Pie as it was one of the very few desserts she actually enjoyed.
