- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup white sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9 inch) baked pie crust
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- Combine milk, sugar, and butter together in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir until butter melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour about 1 cup milk mixture into a bowl and whisk cornstarch into mixture until smooth. Pour milk-cornstarch mixture back into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pour milk mixture into the pie crust and sprinkle with nutmeg. Refrigerate pie until firm, about 3 hours.
