🍮 Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

🍮 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges.
(Optional: lightly prick the bottom of the crust with a fork.)

2️⃣ Make the custard:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly to combine.
Stir in the vanilla extract.

3️⃣ Assemble the pie:
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared pie crust.
If you like, sprinkle a little ground nutmeg over the top for a touch of classic flavor.

4️⃣ Bake:
Carefully place the pie into the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is just set (it may jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools).
If the crust is browning too fast, cover the edges with foil.

5️⃣ Cool and serve:
Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serve cold or slightly chilled!
