Name: Old-Fashioned Custard Pie (Creamy, Classic & Easy Homemade Recipe)
Ingredients: 1 (9″) unbaked deep-dish pie crust (homemade or store-bought); ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar; 3 tbsp all-purpose flour; ¼ tsp salt; 3 large eggs; 2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness); 1 tsp vanilla extract; ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (plus extra for sprinkling)

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

1 (9″) unbaked deep-dish pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

For the custard filling:

¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
3 large eggs
2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra richness)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp ground nutmeg (plus extra for sprinkling)

Instructions

Prep crust: Place pie crust in a 9″ pie plate. Crimp edges. Freeze 15 minutes to prevent shrinking.
Make filling: In a bowl, whisk sugar, flour, and salt. Whisk in eggs until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk, then vanilla.
Strain (optional): For ultra-smooth texture, strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into crust.
Sprinkle lightly with nutmeg.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–55 minutes, until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
Cool completely on a wire rack (custard will firm up as it cools). Chill at least 2 hours before serving.

💡 Pro Tips:
– Avoid overbaking—the center should still wobble slightly when you pull it out.
– For extra richness, replace ½ cup milk with heavy cream.
– Serve plain, with whipped cream, or a dusting of cinnamon!
