Custard Pie
Ingredients
- (9-inch) single crust pastry shell, chilled
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 C. sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 C. milk, scalded
- 1 C. light cream, scalded
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
Beat eggs slightly; then beat in remaining ingredients, except nutmeg. Pour into well-chilled pie crust with high fluted edges. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top. Bake in hot oven (400 deg.) until knife inserted 1 inch from outside edge comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes (it will set more while it cools). (Don't bake overlong because it makes the crust soggy.) Cool on rack 30 minutes and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
