Custard pie is a tested and proven classic from ancient Romanesque times! In fact, it was they who discovered the egg’s binding qualities, and it has been centuries since humans have been creating this rich and delectable delicacy.
All throughout the world, there are many varieties of custard pies to be found! It is the classic North American custard pie recipe, which is seasoned with a little vanilla and nutmeg, that we are presenting here. A few more variants of this classic dish include pumpkin pie, cream pie, and buko pie—the latter two of which are natives of the Philippines!
It takes just a few minutes to mix together the eggy filling. Although the spices tend to float to the top of the mixture when it is cooked, the custard retains its shape nicely owing to the egg foundation. The texture is dense and not as light and fluffy as a cream pie, which is often lighter and fluffier.
While a handmade pie crust is usually used for this dish, you may use a store-bought pie crust if you want to save time. Also, make sure that you are using a baked pie crust rather than a graham cracker pie crust while making the pie.
