1 (9 inch) pie shell
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. scalded milk
Nutmeg

Place milk into double boiler. Place over heat until milk is hot. In mixing bowl, blend eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Add scalded milk gradually; pour into pie shell. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake in hot 400 degree oven 25 to 30 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between outside and center of custard comes out clean. Cool on rack 15 to 30 minutes, then chill in refrigerator.

One and one-third cups of milk and 1 cup cream may be used instead of the 2 1/2 cups of milk for a richer pie.
