This has been my favourite custard pie recipe. I shared this with family and friends and received great feedback. Super budget-friendly and a wonderful pie to even serve to guests. My sister e-mailed me yesterday, she said to try this with a graham cracker crust and add in some fresh berries before serving. I will surely give that a try and I know it’ll be fantastic!

Ingredients
Pastry:
1 c. unsalted butter
¾ c. white sugar
1 large Egg
2 ½ c. all-purpose flour
Egg Custard Filling:
4 Eggs
½ c. white sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c. milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste
How to make Homemade Baked Egg Custard
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C. Ready a deep-dish pie plate, lightly grease, and set aside.
Step 2: In a bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and egg until creamy. Add in the flour and knead with your hands until you have a dough.
Step 3: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry, then transfer it into the prepared pie plate, making sure to cover both sides and bottom of the pie plate.
Step 4: In a bowl, beat the egg with an electric mixer. Add in the vanilla extract and beat to combine. Then, slowly whisk in the cold milk until completely incorporated. Over the pastry base, pour the custard mixture and sprinkle with nutmeg.
Step 5: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about minutes until the custard is set and a sharp knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Take the custard out of the oven when done and let it cool for at least an hour before serving.
Note:
For best results, chill the custard before serving.
