For the Custard Filling:

• 2 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Ground nutmeg or cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pie Crust:
   • In a bowl, mix flour and sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together.
   • Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
3. Roll Out and Fit Crust:
   • On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
   • Transfer the dough to the pie pan, trim and crimp the edges. Chill the crust in the fridge for 10 minutes.
4. Pre-Bake Crust (Optional but recommended):
   • Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
   • Bake for 10 minutes, then remove the parchment and weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the crust is lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
5. Prepare the Custard Filling:
   • In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until just starting to simmer. Remove from heat.
   • In a bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and salt.
   • Gradually whisk in the warm milk until smooth.
6. Fill and Bake:
   • Pour the custard filling into the pre-baked crust.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the pie cool completely before slicing. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon if desired.

Enjoy a slice of this creamy, comforting Custard Pie!
