Custard Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

pastry for 9-inch pie
4 eggs, beaten slightly
2/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 2/3 c. scalding hot milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Preparation

Make pastry for one-crust pie.
Build up high fluted edge. Beat the remaining ingredients together.
Pour into pastry lined pie pan.
Bake just until a silver knife inserted into side comes out clean.
The center may still look soft, but will set later. Too long baking makes custard watery.
Bake at 450\u00b0 for 15 minutes, then at 350\u00b0 to finish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Can be baked at 425\u00b0 for same time.
