- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a blender or with a hand mixer, combine eggs, sugar, melted butter, flour, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Add Coconut (Optional):
- If you’re using shredded coconut, add it to the batter and pulse briefly until combined.
- Pour Batter:
- Pour the batter into the greased pie dish.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool:
- Allow the pie to cool for a bit before slicing.
- Dust with Nutmeg or Cinnamon (Optional):
- If desired, dust the top of the pie with ground nutmeg or cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve the Magic Crust Custard Pie at room temperature or chilled.
Note:
- The magic of this pie is that it forms its own crust while baking. The denser custard layer settles to the bottom, the middle layer is a creamy custard, and the top layer has a slightly crispy texture.
- You can customize the flavor by adding ingredients like a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
Enjoy the simplicity and magic of this delicious custard pie!
