Old Fashioned Custard Pie

By chelyc13

Ingredients

• 1 pie crust
• 2 cups milk
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 teas cornstarch
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• pinch nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large saucepan over low heat, scald the milki and cream until there are bubbles around the edges. Remove from the ehat and allow the mix to cool completely. Mix sugar with 1 teaspoons cornstarch in bowl. Pour milk into bowl and whisk in eggs, vanilla, and nutmeg.

2. Set a rack in the lowest level of the oven and preheat to 350. Roll out the dough for the bottom crust and arrange in pan.

3. Pour filling into pie crust. Bake the pie for about 45 minutes until the crust is baked through and the filling is set, but not over cooked. After the pie has baked for 30 minutes, check it frequently so it does not over cook. Once the pie is wobble textured when the pan is gently shaken, remove it from the oven; it will continue to cook for a few minutes longer after it is removed form the oven... If the pie is over baked, it will be heavy and watery. Cool the pie on a rack.
