3 eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 stick butter (scant)
2 c. milk

Bring to boil milk and butter. Pour over well beaten eggs and sugar. Beat constantly until well mixed and light. Pour into a crust, that has been baked about 5 minutes. Do NOT prick pastry before pouring custard. Bake about 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees, or until set.

PASTRY:

1 1/3 c. sifted plain flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. Crisco
3 tbsp. ice water, scant

Cut Crisco into flour and salt, which has been placed in a bowl. Sprinkle ice water over flour mixture, mixing gently until a ball is formed. Gently roll on floured board, handling as little as possible. Place in pastry pan and bake approximately 5 to 7 minutes, to set crust, before adding hot custard.

DO NOT prick pastry before baking or before adding custard.
