"I have been looking for this recipe for a long time. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't scald the milk. (With modern pasteurization, bacteria and enzymes are already destroyed, so scalding..." See more is no longer necessary. Also, it reduces the chances of cooking the egg as the ingredients are mixed). It was a very easy recipe to make. I just threw everything in the bowl, used a mixer for about 1 minute, poured it in the pie shell and popped it in the oven. Only one problem, I can never get more than one slice before it's all gone. Every person who tastes this pie wants the recipe and says it's the best they have ever eaten. Even the people who proclaimed they really didn't care for egg custard pie, changed their tunes rather quickly after the first bite. Thanks for this one!!!"

I forgot how easy it i..." See mores to make custard pie. Use the Easy Pie Crust recipe on this site and you won't need to glaze the shell with egg white or roll it out. Super quick and easy. I'm going to make this pie often. Everyone has these ingredients on hand. Ovens vary in temperature, btw. Adjust baking time accordingly or lower temp. to 350-375."

No spongy texture if you add the scalded milk VERY slowly while whisking consta..." See morently. Also to prevent custard from going under shell, be sure and poke holes w/fork all over the shell including the sides FIRST to prevent bubbling. That would be for any pie recipe."
