GRANDMA'S CUSTARD PIE (YELLOW PIE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• 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.
• Bake 30-35 minutes or until knife inserted in center of pie comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool 30-60 minutes before slicing and serving.

GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa powder together in a bowl until well combined.
• Mix milk, egg yolks, and vanilla extract together in a separate large bowl. Add flour mixture and blend custard until smooth.
• Pour custard into a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring continually, until slightly boiling but not popping, about 5 minutes. Cook just until reasonably thickened, 3 to 5 minutes more, and remove from heat immediately. Stir hot custard to smooth out any lumps and pour into the pre-baked pie shell.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Beat egg whites, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl until peaks start to form. Spread the thick meringue mixture on top of the custard.
• Cook under the preheated broiler just until the peaks start to turn light brown, 1 to 2 minutes, being very careful not to let the meringue burn.
• Place the custard pie in the fridge or on Grandma's porch on a cool night until the custard congeals, about 2 hours.
