Custard Pie
Plain old custard pie? Well, this recipe may be old , but it's hardly "plain" — unless your definition of plain is a rich/tender filling of cream, eggs, and vanilla, with a hint of nutmeg, nestled in a buttery crust. It's just plain good!

Ingredients
Directions
CRUST
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix in the vegetable shortening until the mixture is crumbly.
2
Add the butter and mix until larger chunks of butter remain. Gradually sprinkle vinegar and ice water over the mixture while tossing with a fork.
3
Once the dough is cohesive, shape it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap or waxed paper, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
4
Roll the chilled dough into a 13-inch circle and place it in a lightly greased 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges upright to prevent filling from spilling out.
5
Chill the pie crust while preheating the oven to 375°F. Blind-bake the crust by lining it with foil or parchment paper and filling it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes.
6
Remove the weights and foil, then bake for another 10 to 15 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
FILLING
7
Preheat the oven to 300°F. In a saucepan, heat the milk, heavy cream, and salt until small bubbles form around the edges and steam rises.
8
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Gradually pour 1/4 of the hot milk mixture over the egg mixture, stirring well. Combine the egg mixture with the remaining milk mixture.
9
Strain the custard through a sieve to remove any cooked egg bits. Stir in the vanilla extract.
10
Pour the hot custard into the cooled crust and sprinkle nutmeg evenly on top. Cover the edges with a pie shield or foil.
11
Bake the pie for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the custard is set at the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center. The temperature should be between 170°F and 180°F.
12
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating. Serve chilled and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
