Custard pie
Most custard pie recipes can be traced back to medieval England. These pies were made with a custard filling and a pastry crust. The custard filling was made with eggs, milk, and cream, and the crust was made with flour, water, and fat. The pies were typically baked in a pie plate or on a baking sheet.
The first custard pies were probably served as a dessert, but they eventually became a popular breakfast food as well. Custard pies were often served with fruit or jam.
Custard pies became less popular in the 18th century, when the English began to prefer lighter, fruit-filled pies. However, custard pies remained popular in America, where they were often served with a dollop of whipped cream.
Advice
When making custard pie, be sure to use ingredients that are fresh and of good quality. Start by pre-baking the crust to ensure it is crispy and doesn't become soggy. When making the custard, use a mixture of eggs, sugar, and milk. Be sure to mix it well until it is combined and smooth. When pouring the custard into the pie shell, be sure to fill it evenly and not overfill it, as this can cause it to overflow and make a mess. Finally, bake the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes. Allow it to cool before serving for best results.
