Magic Crust Custard Pie is a simple and delightful dessert with a self-creating crust made from flour that settles during baking. This easy-to-make custard pie combines basic pantry ingredients blended into a smooth batter and baked to perfection, resulting in a creamy, sweet filling with a unique crust formed naturally in the pie dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Custard Pie Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Nutmeg, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Put all the ingredients except the nutmeg into a blender. Blend the mixture for 30 seconds until it is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Prepare Pie Plate: Butter a 9-inch pie plate thoroughly to prevent sticking and help develop the crust.
  3. Pour Batter: Pour the blended batter evenly into the prepared pie pan.
  4. Sprinkle Nutmeg: Lightly sprinkle nutmeg over the top of the batter to add a warm spice flavor.
  5. Bake: Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the edges are lightly browned.
  6. Form Crust: During baking, the flour in the batter will settle to the bottom, forming a natural crust, giving the pie its unique magic crust effect.

Notes

  • Make sure to butter the pie plate well to help the crust form properly and prevent sticking.
  • Using 2% milk balances creaminess without making the custard too heavy.
  • Nutmeg adds a classic custard pie aroma but can be omitted or replaced with cinnamon if preferred.
  • Check the custard near the end of baking by inserting a knife or toothpick; it should come out clean.
  • Let the pie cool before slicing to allow the custard to set completely for clean slices.
