Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Cornstarch can be used for a silkier texture.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs Use room-temperature eggs for better mixing.
  • 2 cups milk Whole milk gives the best richness; can substitute with 2% or plant milk.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Alternatively, use vanilla bean paste.
Crust Ingredients
  • 1 pie crust store-bought or homemade Blind-baked slightly is optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rack in the middle.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until uniform in color. Add the milk and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the sugar mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Baking
  1. Place the prepared pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the custard filling into the crust.
  2. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has a slight, gentle wobble. The top should be lightly browned.
  3. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool on a rack. Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.
