No Milk Custard Pie
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (your own or store bought)
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of granulated white sugar
- 3 medium eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 3 TBSP of white flour
- 1 cup of BOILING water
Preparation
- Prepare the pie crust by placing it in the pie dish and allowing the crust to sit in the fridge to chill.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Bring butter to room temperature
- Cream together the eggs, sugar, and butter.
- Slowly add the flour and the salt and blend in until you get a smooth consistency.
- Slowly pour in the boiling water, a tablespoon at a time. Make sure to do this slowly and mix slowly as you do. DO NOT pour in the water all at once or you will cook the eggs!
- Pour the mixture (it will be VERY watery) into your crust.
- Cover the crust on the pie with foil or a crust ring.
- Bake at 350 degrees for at least 40 minutes.
- Remove the crust ring or foil and use an egg wash to cover the crust. Finish baking for 5 more minutes.
- Allow the pie to cool to room temperature. You can serve it at this temperature or you can cool overnight and allow the custard to set further.
