Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Pie Crust Adjust your oven rack to the lowest position and preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Take your 9-inch pie crust and have it ready for the filling.
- Mix the Filling In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually add the sugar, followed by the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Pie Pour the custard mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed within the crust.
- Bake the Pie Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. The custard should set, and the crust should turn a golden brown.
- Cooling Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. This allows the custard to set properly and makes the pie easier to slice.
