This Old Fashioned Custard Pie is a classic dessert with a smooth, creamy filling and a golden, flaky crust. It’s simple to make and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie shell (e.g., Marie Callender’s deep dish)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole milk
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Prepare the Custard Mixture:
In a large bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Gradually add the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition. Slowly stir in the milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. - Pour the Mixture into the Pie Shell:
Pour the prepared custard mixture into the unbaked pie shell, ensuring it is evenly distributed. - Bake the Pie:
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The custard should be set and slightly golden around the edges. You can test the doneness by inserting a knife into the center — it should come out clean when the pie is fully set. - Cool the Pie:
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before serving. This allows the custard to firm up properly.
