Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, and cornstarch until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs lightly. Slowly temper the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
  • Stir in vanilla extract. Pour the custard into the pie crust.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, or until the custard is set. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of whole milk.
