Custard Pie

"Mom & daughters"
Such a blessing to have a fabulous mom and daughters together!


"Gma with Heritage Doll"
Mom never ceases to amaze me with her creative talents
(I think her best was my wedding dress!)


In mentioning grandma's cooking, one of my favorite recipes I use from her "Select Recipes from the Kitchen of Barbara D. Eliason" (thanks, Dee) is her one for Custard Pie. With so many to choose from it was a hard decision but seeing the Thanksgiving 2007 dinner picture reminded me of her fabulous pies. So here it is:

Custard Pie
9' pie shell, unbaked
3 eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
2-1/2 c. milk
1 t. vanilla
Nutmeg (little to sprinkle on top)
Beat eggs lightly. Add sugar and salt and blend well. Add milk and vanilla. Pour into unbaked pie shell and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake 25 to 35 minutes more or until custard is done.


"Grandma's spread"
With mom's cooking, it's amazing we're not all at least 300 lbs!!!
