Crustless Custard Pie

Aaaah this pie y’all.  Add it to the list of things my mom made for the family regularly that I absolutely loved growing up (well, still do of course).  I remember thinking that this dessert was so fancy and I hoped I would be able to make it someday. 

Well, if I had known how easy this was to make as a kid I probably would have given it a go.  This is a one bowl, no fancy mixer required, but super amazingly delicious pie, and hello(!) no crust you have to worry about burning, or it not quite rolling out pretty enough not that that has happened to me or anything.  You definitely will not be able to have just one piece, it’s sweet but not too sweet, rich but not too rich, and the texture drooool aaanndd I added just a teensy eensy little bit of coconut extract.  You by no means have to add it, but it gives it that extra oomph that doesn’t scream coconut, but people will go ‘hmm what is all that awesome?’ As a side note, the recipe says either coconut or lemon extract, and please if you are a lemon dessert lover be my guest.  Lemons to me are in the same boat as nuts and raisins, in that they do not belong in desserts sorry lemon lovers, don’t hate me.  So it’s safe to assume you will not be seeing any lemon meringue pie, or lemon tart recipes here y’all, sorry not sorry .   Buuuttt, I do highly recommend this bit of deliciousness.

Start with your sugar…

 Then your flour…

Now your eggs…

Now mix, mix, mix…

Now add all of that delicious melted butter (and we will pretend the milk, coconut extract and vanilla are pictured here too)…

Mix all of that in…

Butter your dish so no stick-age of your pie…

Pour batter into your pan…

Bake, bake (though I wouldn’t recommend a cookie sheet, takes too long to bake)…

Then, voilá!

Ingredients

1. 1 3/4 Cup of Sugar.
2. 1/2 Cup of Self-Rising Flour.
3. 4 Eggs.
4. 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla.
5. (Optional) 1/4 Teaspoon of Coconut Extract or Lemon Extract.
6. 2 Cups of Milk.
7. 1/2 Stick (4 Tablespoons) of Unsalted Butter, Melted.
8. Deep Dish 9" or 10" Pie Plate.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Liberally spray your pan with non-stick spray, set aside.
3. With a handheld or stand mixer with paddle attachment blend your sugar, flour and eggs until smooth.
4. Now add your milk, vanilla and melted butter, (and coconut extract if you want) blend until well incorporated.
5. Pour batter into your pie plate and bake for 60 minutes.
6. Let cool and place in fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

1. I placed my pie plate on a baking sheet, I do not recommend doing this, it ended up taking quite a bit longer than it should have to bake because of it.
2. This is a very thin batter, so don't worry when it is :-).
