This custard pie recipe is the 1999 American Pie Council’s National Pie Championship’s first place winner in the Custard Pie category.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ cups scalded milk
- 3 drops yellow food coloring (Optional)
- 1 (9 inch) frozen pie crust, thawed
- 1 large egg white, beaten
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
Step 2
Mix together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl; stir well. Blend in scalded milk. Stir in 3 drops yellow food coloring for more color.
Step 3
Brush the bottom and sides of pie crust with beaten egg white to help prevent a soggy crust. Pour custard mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg.

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
