My First Ever Custard Pie

I chose the easiest custard pie recipe that I could find.  It came from the Small Town Woman website. It came out not bad. 

One tip: Put the pie crust in the oven before pouring the egg mixture into it.



Wendell ate two pieces right away. My mom liked it too.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In small bowl separate one egg white from egg yolk reserving both.
3. Brush crust with beaten egg white and pre-bake for 7-8 minutes.  Let cool for 10 minutes.
4. In large bowl whisk together 3 eggs plus the one spare yolk and whatever is left from the beaten egg white , sugar, salt, vanilla, cream and milk.
5. Pour egg mixture into piecrust and sprinkle with nutmeg.  Bake for 35-45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
6. Cool on a wire rack.  Store in refrigerator.
