Custard Pie--Nothing Fancy

I was hungry for a good old fashion egg custard pie, did a search on the web and found this posted by Yvonne on All Recipes.com. Very good. I used fresh grated nutmeg, but you can also use cinnamon. I whisked while adding the hot milk and also add 10 more minutes to the baking time. I also like my custard pie cold so I put it in the refrigerator about 45 minutes before cutting. Preparation time is for filling only.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Yields: 1 pie

Ingredients

• 4  eggs, beaten
• 2⁄3 cup white sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 2  cups  scalded milk
• 1  unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions

1. Combine eggs, sugar, nutmeg or cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
2. Add scalded milk a little at a time while whisking, so as not to cook the eggs.
3. When all is blended, pour into the unbaked pie shell.
4. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into center comes out clean.
