Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch pie crust
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups (480 milliliters/16 fl oz) whole milk
- 1 cup (200 grams/7 oz) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons (23 grams/0.8 oz) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Thermal Preparation: Position the oven rack at the lowest level and preheat to 325°F for optimal custard pie baking conditions.
- Liquid Foundation: Blend eggs and milk in a large mixing bowl, whisking energetically until achieving a completely smooth texture without any visible separation.
- Flavor Integration: Gradually fold sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, and salt into the liquid mixture, using continuous whisking motions to eliminate potential lumps and create a homogeneous custard base.
- Crust Filling: Gently pour the silky custard mixture into the unbaked pie shell, carefully tilting the pan to ensure uniform distribution across the entire crust surface.
- Baking Transformation: Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, monitoring until the custard sets with a subtle center jiggle and the crust develops a rich golden-brown coloration.
- Cooling and Stabilization: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to rest at room temperature for 2-3 hours, permitting the custard to completely set and develop a luxurious, creamy consistency before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Measure Precisely: Use exact measurements for ingredients to maintain the delicate balance of flavors and texture in this custard pie.
- Whisk Thoroughly: Blend ingredients completely to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, silky custard consistency.
- Oven Placement Matters: Position the rack at the lowest level to distribute heat evenly and prevent burning or uneven baking.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the pie cool completely for 2-3 hours to allow the custard to set properly and develop its rich, creamy texture.
