1 stick butter
3/4 c milk
3 eggs, room temperature
1/4 tsp salt
1 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

Melt butter until caramel color; add milk until milk is almost scalded. Cool. Beat eggs, add salt, sugar and vanilla. Pour into pie shell. Grate nutmeg on top of pie.

Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes or until set.

The secret to this pie is to brown the butter and scald the milk. This chess pie is also different because there isn't any corn meal or flour in the recipe.
