Magic Crust Custard Pie is a wonderfully simple and unique dessert where the flour settles naturally during baking to form a delightful crust beneath a smooth, creamy custard filling. It requires minimal ingredients and preparation, offering a classic comfort treat with a hint of vanilla and a touch of nutmeg.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Nutmeg, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Put all ingredients except nutmeg into a blender. Blend for 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Prepare Pie Plate: Butter a 9-inch pie plate thoroughly to prevent sticking and give the crust a rich flavor.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour the blended batter evenly into the prepared pie plate.
  4. Sprinkle Nutmeg: Lightly sprinkle nutmeg over the top of the batter for a warm, aromatic touch.
  5. Bake: Bake the pie at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 45 minutes. During baking, the flour will naturally settle to the bottom, forming its own crust, while the custard sets on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving to let the custard firm up for clean slices.

Notes

  • Using a blender makes preparation quick and ensures a smooth custard mixture.
  • Ensure the pie plate is well buttered to help the flour form a crust without sticking.
  • Sprinkling nutmeg is optional but adds a lovely flavor dimension to the custard.
  • Let the pie cool before slicing to achieve clean segments.
  • This pie does not require a pre-made crust, making it an easy and unique dessert option.
