Impossibly easy custard pie

Could this be the easy-peasiest dessert pie you’ve ever made? Give it a try and let us know.

An old-fashioned recipe that has been around for a long time, this creamy custard pie is called impossibly easy pie because it takes just four ingredients. Just blend the ingredients and pour into a pie pan to bake. That’s it. You don’t even need to make a crust – one is going to magically appear during baking because of some clever wizardry that happens with the eggs.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated white sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C and grease the interior of a 23cm pie pan.
2. Add eggs, sugar, flour and milk into a blender. Blend until evenly mixed. Pour batter into the prepared pie pan.
3. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The pie will also start to pull away from the sides.
4. Let the pie cool to room temperature. Then put into the fridge for several hours or overnight to chill, which will let the flavours fully develop. If desired, dust with icing sugar before serving. Best served chilled.
