Growing up we had this pie every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's simple but decadent. If you've never had Custard Pie before, it's a little bit like Creme Brulee in a pie crust. This is wonderful served chilled with REAL whipped cream. Enjoy. Ingredients:
9 inches unbaked pie shells |
2 1/2 cups whole milk or 2 1/2 cups half-and-half cream, scalded |
3 eggs, lightly beaten |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract |
ground nutmeg, to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, sugar and salt.
3. Slowly whisk in scalded milk a little at a time to prevent cooking the egg mixture.
4. Stir in vanilla.
5. Pour, through a sieve, into the unbaked pie shell.
6. Sprinkle top with ground nutmeg.
7. Bake for approximately 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
8. Filling will look wobbly but will set up as it cools.
9. Chill thoroughly and serve with whipped cream.
