Custard Pie For Company - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 large eggs, slightly beaten
4 c. scalded milk
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond extract
nutmeg (for top of custard)

Scald milk. Stir beaten eggs into hot mixture slowly. Combine the remainder of ingredients except nutmeg. Pour custard into a deep pie shell. Grate or sprinkle nutmeg on top. Bake in preheated 425\u00b0 oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 275\u00b0 until done.
Do not bake too fast. You do not want it to brown. Test with knife inserted in center for doneness. Bake about 40 minutes. Check often; ovens vary in degrees.
