How to Make Mom's Old Fashioned Cream Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups whole milk and 1 cup heavy cream. Make sure there are no lumps.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large eggs until light and frothy. Gently whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the milk and cream mixture, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.
  6. Pour the filling into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  7. Sprinkle a generous pinch of ground nutmeg over the top.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges and slightly jiggly in the center. (It will firm up as it cools).
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to enhance the creamy texture.
