Cook with Me: No Milk Custard Pie

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

1. Prepare the pie crust by placing it in the pie dish and allowing the crust to sit in the fridge to chill.
2. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
3. Bring butter to room temperature
4. Cream together the eggs, sugar, and butter.
5. Slowly add the flour and the salt and blend in until you get a smooth consistency.
6. 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!
7. Pour the mixture (it will be VERY watery) into your crust.
8. Cover the crust on the pie with foil or a crust ring.
9. Bake at 350 degrees for at least 40 minutes.
10. Remove the crust ring or foil and use an egg wash to cover the crust. Finish baking for 5 more minutes.
11. 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.
