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.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature eggs and milk. This will help the custard to cook evenly and prevent curdling.
  • Strain the custard mixture before pouring it into the pie crust. This will remove any lumps and ensure a smooth custard filling.
  • Bake the pie in a water bath. This will help to prevent the custard from curdling and will also help to create a creamy, smooth texture.

  • Chill the pie for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the custard to firm up and develop its full flavor.
