Grandma Mills' Egg Custard Pie


This is truly an old fashion pie.  I haven't seen this being sold at any pie shops or restaurants.  It's light and not real sweet.  It really is a good dessert.  When you want a little something sweet but not rich and sugary, this will fill the bill.

4 slightly beaten eggs
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar (the recipe calls for 1/2 but I use 3/4)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
2 1/2 cups milk, scalded (I use 2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup half and half)
1- 9 inch pie shell
ground nutmeg for garnish

Whisk eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla.  Gradually stir in scalded milk.  Pour into pie shell and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
