Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream together the margarine, flour, Pet milk, sugar, egg yolks, and rum (if desired).
- Pour the mixture into a prepared deep pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half the sugar with brown sugar. You can also use unsalted butter instead of margarine for a more traditional taste. If you don't have rum flavoring, a splash of vanilla extract can work as a substitute. Ensure your egg yolks are at room temperature for better incorporation into the mixture, which enhances the pie's texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delightful egg pie warm or at room temperature for the best flavor. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a special touch, drizzle some Hot Butter Rum Sauce(Excellent On Hot Apple Pie Ala Mode) over each slice. Enjoy it as a comforting dessert after a hearty meal or a sweet treat during brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover egg pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the pie soggy and affect its texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Pet milk?
Yes, you can substitute Pet milk with whole milk or evaporated milk for a similar creamy texture. However, if you prefer a lighter version, skim milk can also be used, though it may slightly alter the richness of the pie.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make Corinne's Egg Pie gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that your margarine is also gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten. This will allow you to enjoy the pie without compromising on flavor.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it well to prevent it from drying out. When ready to serve, simply reheat it, as mentioned earlier, for a delicious dessert that's ready to impress.
