Classic Egg Custard Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 205 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, place the pie crust in the oven and bake it until it's partially cooked, which should take around 5 minutes. Remove it from the oven and set it aside.
3
Then, adjust your oven's temperature to a moderate level of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or 165 degrees Celsius).
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, milk, melted butter, flour, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Mix all the ingredients together until they're well incorporated.
5
Add eggs to the mixture and beat them in thoroughly, ensuring everything is smooth and even.
6
Pour the filling into the partially baked pie crust you set aside earlier.
7
Finally, put the pie in the oven and bake it until a knife inserted into its center comes out clean. This should take anywhere from 45 to 55 minutes, but be careful not to overbake the pie.
