Old-Fashioned Egg Custard Pie

  • Author: Alioui
  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Description

A creamy and nostalgic dessert that is both easy to prepare and a delight to serve to family and friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups whole milk (for best texture)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Ground nutmeg, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, grease a 9.5-inch pie plate with a bit of butter or cooking spray to ensure your custard pie comes out easily after baking.
  2. Blend the Custard Mixture: Take your blender or food processor and add the melted butter, large eggs, granulated sugar, pinch of salt, whole milk, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour. Blend all the ingredients for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pay attention to lumps; a smooth batter is key to a creamy custard!
  3. Pour & Sprinkle Nutmeg: Once your custard mixture is ready, pour it carefully into the prepared pie dish. This is where a light sprinkle of ground nutmeg adds a warm, aromatic touch. Not only does it enhance the appearance, but it also elevates the flavor profile, giving a hint of spice that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the custard.
  4. Bake Until Set: Place your pie dish in the center of the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 45 minutes. The custard is done when it’s firm around the edges but slightly jiggly in the middle. This gentle motion ensures a soft and creamy center that will set beautifully as it cools.
  5. Cool & Serve: Once baked, remove the custard pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This cooling period helps the filling firm up, making it easier to serve. Enjoy your Old-Fashioned Egg Custard Pie warm or chilled. Each slice is a delightful blend of nostalgia and comfort!

Notes

For the best outcome, allow the pie to cool completely before serving to ensure the best texture.
