1 unbaked (9-inch) pastry shell
4 slightly beaten eggs
1/2 c. white sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Nutmeg
2 1/2 c. scalded milk

Thoroughly mix beaten eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Slowly stir into the hot milk. (This mixture is enough for a large pie or 6 or 8 custard cups.) Dash the top generously with nutmeg.

Bake in preheated hot oven at 475 degrees for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 425 degrees and bake 10 minutes longer or until silver knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. Cool before serving.
