OLD FASHIONED EGG PIE 
This recipe was given to me 25 years ago by an 80 year old lady.

4 eggs, beaten slightly
3/4 cup sugar
salt, to taste
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups scalded milk
9-inch prepared pie shell (I use Pillsbury)
ground nutmeg
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, cut into pats

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Blend eggs with sugar, salt and vanilla. Slowly add scalded milk, while stirring. Pour custard into pie shell. Sprinkle with nutmeg and dot with butter.

Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes or until barely firm. Pie will set when cool.

Note: To prevent custard from running through pastry - don't prick pastry with fork. Be sure pastry stands up a bit around edge. Slightly bake before pouring custard into pastry.

I make this pie often. But I put everything in the blender except the nutmeg. Then pour into crust and sprinkle the nutmeg on after baking. I like to add almond flavoring instead of the vanilla too!
