Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Egg Custard Pie.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (205°C).
Step 2
Once heated, place the unbaked pie crust inside and let it bake for about 5 minutes, just until it’s partially set.
Step 3
After this brief stint in the oven, carefully remove the crust and set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Next, lower the oven temperature to a gentle 325°F (165°C).
Step 5
In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, melted butter, flour, vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of ground nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 6
Now, crack in the eggs and beat the mixture until it’s perfectly combined, creating a luscious custard.
Step 7
Pour this delightful filling into your partially baked pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.
Step 8
Slide the pie back into the oven and let it bake for 45 to 55 minutes.
Step 9
Keep an eye on it; the pie is ready when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, but be cautious not to overbake.
Step 10
Enjoy the sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await this delicious treat!.
