GRANDMA'S CUSTARD PIE (YELLOW PIE)

My grandma made the most wonderful custard pie. When I got to stay the night or weekend with her, she would always have this for me. Of course I could never ever make this like I remembered until I finally asked her for the recipe. One thing I cannot replicate is the use of fresh whole milk, but have come up with a pretty close substitution. THIS is comfort food at its' finest.

Scald milk (I use 1 cup half and half mixed with 1-1/2 cups whole milk). Set aside.
In large mixing bowl slightly beat eggs, blend in sugar, salt, vanilla and almond extract.
Gradually stir in scalded milk. Do not overbeat as this will create an unwanted foam. Pour into prepared pie shell and lightly sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg over the top.
