Easy Custard pie
i've been baking a lot of pies lately. i love that pies can be sweet an savory. i tried this custard pie recipe because i've never made custard before, and i feel like this will bring me one step closer to try and make flan or creme brulee.
4 cups milk 6 large eggs 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla Directions 1. Heat the milk until hot, two or three minutes in the microwave. 2. Whisk the eggs until smooth. Combine the eggs and the milk. 3. Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla and stir until dissolved. 4. For a smoother custard, pour the mixture through a strainer. Stir again. 5. Pour the custard into custard dishes, a casserole dish, or a pie shell. 6. Bake at 325 until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. In individual servings, that should be about 30 minutes. In a single dish, about 60 minutes. 7. Cool before serving. Traditionally, custards are served with caramel sauce. Sliced strawberries or fresh blueberries also work well with custard.
i took this recipe and cut it in half because i knew it would only fit in a deep dish pie and all i had was a premade graham cracker pie crust. next time i would add a little bit more sugar. i only baked it for 40 minutes. this pie does taste good with caramel sauce mmm
