Grandma’s Egg Custard Pie



Flip it!

My bundle of wet clothes to hang consisted of handkerchiefs, undershirts, and socks.  As I struggled to try to manage the wet clothes and keep them off the ground and on the clothesline, I noticed that she moved deftly and swiftly, not missing a beat.

Her clothes were perfectly straight with similar types sorted and hanging together.  Meanwhile, I manage to get three handkerchiefs and two pairs of socks up.

I don’t know what it is about seeing clothes flapping in the wind hanging on a clothesline but something about the sight of it appeals to me. The clothesline is not allowed in most neighborhoods.  Some consider a clothesline tacky.

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix together eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Stir well. Blend in the scalded milk. For more yellow color, add a few drops yellow food coloring.
Brush inside the bottom and sides of the pie crust with egg white to help prevent a soggy crust. Pour custard mixture into piecrust. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. (Please adjust according to your oven) Cool on rack.
