How to Make Duncan's Egg Custard Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until light and frothy.
Pour the custard mixture into your prepared pie crust.
Place the pie in a baking pan and pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the pie plate (this creates a water bath for even baking).
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until the custard is set and no longer jiggles in the center. The edges should be lightly golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
