Directions: |
Directions:Put pie crust into a 10-inch pie plate and flute edges. Preheat oven to 400º. Mix sugar, salt, butter and nutmeg with mixer until well combined. Add 4 eggs and beat well. Add milk and vanilla. Beat all ingredients with mixer until well blended. Pour gently into prepared pie crust. Sprinkle nutmeg all over the top. Place in CENTER of oven and bake for 20 minutes. If, after 20 minutes, the pie crust isn't brown on the bottom, move pie to bottom rack of oven. Turn oven down to 300 degrees and cook for 20 more minutes. Pie must bake for at least 40 minutes. FINALLY, shake oven rack. If the WHOLE PIE FILLING shakes TOGETHER, the pie is done. If it only SHAKES (sloshes) IN THE MIDDLE, cook it for 15 more minutes. |
