Custard “Chess” Pie

• Preheat oven to 475°.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs; add sugar, salt, and vanilla and mix thoroughly.
• Slowly pour in the scalded milk while stirring, and then immediately pour custard into pie crust.
• Place pie in the oven and immediately reduce heat to 425°.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted halfway between the center of pie and edge comes out clean.

Classic.

• I love to put sweetened whipped cream on top, but it’s just as good plain and slightly warm.
