1 pie shell, unbaked
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. scalded milk (I use the microwave)

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cover edge of pastry with strips of foil. Mix thoroughly eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Slowly stir in hot milk and pour carefully into pie shell. To avoid spills fill in oven. Sprinkle top lightly with cinnamon or nutmeg. Bake about 20 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Check at 15 minutes.
