Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unsalted butter
¾ cup white sugar
1 large egg
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
½ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups milk
1 pinch ground nutmeg, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease the bottom of a deep-dish pie plate.
  • Beat butter, sugar, and egg in a bowl until creamy. Blend in flour to form a dough, using your hands to knead it together at the end.
  • Roll pastry out on a lightly floured surface and place into the prepared pie plate so it covers the bottom and the sides.
  • Beat eggs and sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla extract. Gradually stir in cold milk until fully incorporated. Pour custard mixture over the pastry base and sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set and a sharp knife inserted near the centre comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely before serving, about 1 hour.
