Moms Custard Pie Recipe

  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  1. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. Separate one egg; set the white aside. In a mixing bowl, beat the yolk and remaining eggs just until combined. Blend in the sugar, salt and vanilla. Stir in milk. Beat reserved egg white until stiff peaks form; fold into egg mixture.
  3. Carefully pour into crust. Cover edges of pie with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Store in the refrigerator.
