Instructions
 

  • Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl with vanilla, sugar and salt then stir in milk.
  • Pour mixture through a strainer into an unbaked pie crust and sprinkle with your choice of spice.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes then lower the heat to 325 degrees and continue to bake for 50-55 minutes. The edges will be set but the center will still be wiggly. Do not allow filling to bubble.
  • Chill 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Be sure to use a deep-dish pie plate or you will have too much filling.
