RECIPE
Ingredients
- REFRIGERATED PIE CRUST
- 1 CUP SUGAR(I USE 3/4CUP; I LIKE IT LESS SWEET)
- 5 EGGS 1 TSP. VANILLA EXTRACT
- 1 CAN EVAPORATED MILK
- 1/2 TSP. NUTMEG OR CINNAMON DEEP DISH PIE CRUST
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put pie crust in 9-inch standard pie plate. Crimp edges to form edging (see video tutorial). In a bowl whisk sugar & egg. Add vanilla and milk and whisk well. Pour the contents through a mesh strainer.
- Discard foam and egg whites that get caught. Let this mixture sit out 20 minutes, then place in deep dishpie crust. Sprinkle with spices.
- Bake at 425 degrees for the first 20 minutes, then turn down oven to 350 degrees and bake 20 more minutes.Center of pie must rise completely like sides. May take 1 hour.
OPTION: I find that pie does best if you do not prebake or prick with fork. The filling leaks between the crust and pie plate. Also, I like this pie best with 1/2 cup of sugar instead of a full cup. You can also use cinnamon in place of nutmeg.
