Custard Pie

Fancy a cold dessert during the hot summer? I tried to bake the custard pie this afternoon and it was really simple, and yet fun. Try out the recipe if you are interested :)







To make the crust:

1 packet of cheese crackers.
100g butter

1. Crush the crackers and mix well with soft butter.
2. Use your hands or a flat-bottomed glass to press the mixture firmly at the bottom and sides on a disposable 7-inch aluminium foil pan.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheat oven, and let to cool before pouring in the custard mixture.



To make the custard:

600ml of fresh milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 tablespoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla


1. Scald the fresh milk, bring to boil and stir constantly. Remove from heat once it boils.
2. Pour 3 beaten eggs into a separate bowl.
3. Add in sugar, salt and vanilla.
4. Blend well and cream out any sugar lump.
5. Add in the scalded milk slowly and stir well.
6. Pour the mixture into the baked crust.
7. Bake at 180ºC for 40 minutes. Let to cool and chill in the refrigerator.



* A small hint:
If you like egg pudding, you may pour the custard mixture into a small bowl, and steam for 20 minutes. This is what you will get:





Hope you enjoy it!
