We had this pie quite often when I was growing up. The first time my husband, then my boyfriend, came over to meet my parents, Mom decided to make this pie. She must have been a little flustered, because she forgot the sugar. She served him first and he started eating it without saying a word. Mom decided he was a keeper because he ate that awful pie so politely. Ingredients:
2 cups milk |
3 eggs |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 unbaked pie shell |
Directions:
1. Prepare pie shell and chill thoroughly, at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Scald milk in double-boiler or in microwave.
4. In separate bowl, whisk eggs a little, then add sugar and salt and stir.
5. Add scalded milk, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla and nutmeg and pour into chilled pie shell.
6. Bake 25-30 minutes or until all but about an inch in the center is set. Be careful not to overcook.
7. Cool completely before cutting.
8. NOTE: This recipe works best made by hand, not with a mixer.
