This filling, smooth as velvet, is rich in eggs, milk and cream.
Unbaked 9-inch pie shell 4 eggs 2/3 cup sugar 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cup milk, scalded 1 cup light cream, scalded 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
Chill pie shell thoroughly. Beat eggs slightly; then beat in remaining ingredients, except nutmeg. Pour into well-chilled pie shell with high fluted edge. Sprinkle on nutmeg. Bake in hot oven (400 F.) until silver knife inserted 1-inch from edge of pie comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes. (Baking too long makes a watery custard pie.)
