How to Make Old Fashion Egg Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.
  4. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of heavy cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the custard mixture into a prepared pie shell (9-inch).
  6. Place the pie shell in a larger baking pan. Carefully pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the pie shell (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer jiggles when gently shaken. The edges should be set and lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the water bath and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
