Restaurant Style Egg Custard Pie Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C.)

In a large bowl combine eggs sugar salt and vanilla. Mix just enough to incorporate all the ingredients. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat combine milk and butter. Use a wire whisk and stir constantly until the milk begins to rise in the saucepan at a rapid boil - 5 to 8 minutes. NEVER stop stirring or the milk will burn. Pour the hot mixture into the egg mixture stirring as you pour.

Line a 9 inch pan with dough. Pour custard mixture into crust. Protect the edges of crust with a ring of aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Filling will appear slightly jiggly. Allow to cool.
