Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into the making of this delicious custard pie. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare your pie crust. If you’re using a store-bought crust, just lay it in your pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to make a homemade crust, now’s a great time to roll that out! Once your crust is ready, I like to pre-bake it for about 10 minutes to give it a little head start. This helps avoid any soggy bottoms later on. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
