Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are pale and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar to the eggs and beat until well combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour over the egg mixture and gently fold it in until no clumps remain.
Gradually add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring gently until everything is fully combined. The batter will be quite thin; this is normal.
Pour the batter into the greased pie dish.
Carefully transfer the pie dish to the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is just set (it should still have a slight jiggle in the center).
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The pie will firm up as it cools and create its signature layers.
Optional: Just before serving, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
Slice and serve on its own or with whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra treat. Enjoy!
