BEN FINK

The trick to making an old-fashioned custard pie is to cook it very slowly and evenly—don't be tempted to open the oven to peek until near the end of the baking time.

Ingredients

3 eggs
³⁄₄ cup sugar
1 ¹⁄₂ cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla
¹⁄₄ tsp. nutmeg
1 (9") unbaked pie shell

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. Prick 9" unbaked pie shell all over with a fork and bake till lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove; lower oven to 300°.

Step 2

Beat eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Pour into crust. Bake until custard is set but still a bit wobbly, about 1 hour. Cool completely before cutting.
