Easy Custard Pie image

When we married, in December 1961, I still hadn't met his parents. In August 1962, we went to Fall City, WA, so that I could really connect with his folks. I watched eagerly as Grandma made delicious meals with little effort. One of the desserts that she prepared was custard pie. I asked her to teach me how to make one, but she...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 9-in. unbaked pie crust
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 c scalded milk
nutmeg to sprinkle on top of pie

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 450. If your oven tends to run a bit hot, cover the edges of the pie crust with strips of foil.
  • 2. Thoroughly mix eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla.
  • 3. Gradually add scalded milk; pour immediately into unbaked pie shell. (To avoid spills, fill at the oven. I always put foil underneath the pie just in case any filling boils over. Burned milk is a mess to clean up, and it smells awful!)
  • 4. Sprinkle top with as much nutmeg as you want. We like a lot!
  • 5. Bake about 20 minutes or until a table knife inserted 1" from the side of filling comes out clean. The filling may look a little bit soft, but it will set later.
  • 6. This pie is best served slightly warm with either Cool Whip or whipped cream on top; however, we love it cold with toppings, too.

Overall, this was a good custard pie recipe. I would definitely make it again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The crust on this pie was a bit too hard. I think I'll par-bake it next time.

The custard in this pie was a bit runny. I think I'll cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I wasn't sure how this pie would turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised! The custard was creamy and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making this again.
