CRUST:

1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. sugar
1 egg
5 oz. sweet butter
Pinch of salt

Mix all the above ingredients in a mixing bowl until well blended. Roll the dough to fit the pan. Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the pan. Line the dough with the paper and fill it with peas. This is to prevent the dough from rising. Bake for 35 minutes at 400 degrees. Remove the peas and put it back into the oven for another 5 minutes to have it nice and brown.

FILLING:

2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
2 c. milk
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Mix yolks, sugar and vanilla extract until it forms a ribbon. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix well. While you are doing this, boil the milk and add it to the mixture and mix it well. Pour the mixture back into the pot and let boil, stirring constantly with a whisk. Make sure to get to the bottom and sides so that it doesn't scorch. Brush it with a thin layer of melted butter to avoid a skin forming. Refrigerate until cold before using. 9 or 10-inch pan.
