CLASSIC EGG CUSTARD PIE WITH LOTS OF NUTMEG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 1/8-inch-thick round. Fit into a 9-by-2-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom. Line with parchment, and fill shell with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove beans and parchment, and bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
• With the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a saucepan, and add pod. Add cream and milk, and bring to a simmer. Remove pan from heat, and cover. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Whisk together yolks and granulated sugar in a large bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Still whisking, add warm cream mixture in a slow, steady stream. Add arrowroot and nutmeg. Whisk until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into cooled crust. Skim foam from surface.
• Bake until edges of filling are set but center is still slightly wobbly, about 40 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). Before serving, unmold, sprinkle with nutmeg, and dust with confectioners' sugar.

CLASSIC CUSTARD PIE WITH NUTMEG

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Put the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and granulated sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until well blended.
• Add half of the butter and pulse 5 or 6 times. Add the remaining butter and pulse 6 times. The mixture should look crumbly with visible large pea-sized pieces.
• Sprinkle a few tablespoons of ice water over the flour mixture and pulse a few times. Add more ice water, a teaspoon at a time, until the mixture begins to form small clumps. When you press a small amount in your hand, it should hold together.
• Transfer the mixture to a floured surface and-without kneading too much-shape into a flattened disc.
• Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• Roll the chilled dough out on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Check frequently for sticking and add more flour to the surface, as needed.
• Fit the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Cut away excess overhang and crimp the edge as desired. Refrigerate the pie shell if you won't be par-baking it immediately.
• Heat the oven to 425 F. Line the pie shell with foil and fill it at least 2/3 full with pie weights or dried beans.
• Place it on a baking sheet and bake at 425 F for 10 minutes.
• Remove the foil and pie weights and bake for another 3 minutes. If there are bubbles in the crust, press them down gently; do not prick them. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 F.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat just until hot and bubbles begin to appear around the edges, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer or whisk, beat the eggs with the 2/3 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, nutmeg , and the vanilla.
• Gradually whisk in the hot milk.
• Place the crust on a sheet pan and pour the filling into the partially baked pie shell.
• Cover the edge of the pie shell with a pie shield or homemade foil ring.
• Carefully put the pie in the oven and bake at 400 F for 20 minutes.
• Then remove the pie shield and bake for about 20 to 30 minutes longer, or until the pie is set. A knife inserted near the center of the pie should come out clean.
• Cool on a rack for 30 minutes.
• Slice, serve, and enjoy!
