Old Fashioned Custard Pie

Ingredients

To recreate this heirloom dessert, you will need the following ingredients, ensuring each component is of the highest quality to achieve the best flavor and texture:

  • 1 unbaked pie shell (preferably deep dish for that extra layer of custard)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar, for the perfect sweetness
  • ½ teaspoon salt, to balance the flavors
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for garnishing
  • 2-2/3 cups whole milk, warmed gently
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, for that aromatic depth

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preparing the Oven and Pie Shell
    1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    2. This ensures a gentle cooking environment for the custard to set perfectly without curdling.
    3. Take your unbaked pie shell and place it on a baking sheet; this makes it easier to move in and out of the oven and catches any spills.
  2. Mixing the Custard
    1. In a large mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs to break them up.
    2. Add the granulated sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
    3. Slowly stir in the warm milk and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
    4. The warmth of the milk helps to temper the eggs, preventing them from scrambling when baked.
  3. Baking the Pie
    1. Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie shell, filling it up to just below the rim.
    2. Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
    3. The pie is done when the custard is set and slightly jiggly in the center, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  4. Cooling and Serving
    1. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.
    2. This slow cooling helps prevent cracks from forming on the surface.
    3. Once the pie is at room temperature, sprinkle the top with a fresh dusting of ground nutmeg.
    4. For the best flavor, chill the pie for a few hours before serving, allowing the custard to fully set and develop its flavors.

Culinary Tips and Tricks

Pie Crust: For a homemade touch, consider making your pie crust from scratch. A buttery, flaky crust pairs beautifully with the creamy custard.
Flavor Variations: While nutmeg is the traditional spice, feel free to experiment with cinnamon or cardamom for a different flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions: Serve your Old-Fashioned Custard Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Conclusion

This Old-Fashioned Custard Pie recipe is more than just a dessert; it’s a celebration of tradition, simplicity, and the joy of homemade baking. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, it’s sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection. Whether for a special occasion or a simple family dinner, this custard pie promises to deliver comfort and delight in every bite.
