Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the milk, sugar, Bisquick, eggs, butter or margarine, and vanilla into a blender and blend for 3 minutes.
- Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
- Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch pie pan.
- Bake at 350°F until browned, approximately 40 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of low-fat. You can substitute the butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version. If you prefer a sweeter pie, add a bit more sugar or use brown sugar for a caramel note. Mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures a smooth custard, so blend well for the full 3 minutes. This recipe is similar to American recipes that focus on simple, comforting desserts.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the egg custard pie chilled or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or a sprinkle of nutmeg for added flavor. Pair it with fresh fruit like berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. It pairs beautifully with Amy Weaver's Chocolate Pie for a sweet dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover egg custard pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. It will keep well for about 3-4 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warm, being careful not to overheat, as this can alter the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can use almond milk, soy milk, or any other non-dairy milk as a substitute for regular milk. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture might slightly change, but the custard will still be delicious.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The custard pie is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid. It will continue to firm up as it cools. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Can I add flavorings or mix-ins to the custard?
Yes, feel free to get creative! You can add a teaspoon of nutmeg or cinnamon for warmth, or fold in chocolate chips or fruit before baking. Just be careful not to add too much liquid, as that could affect the custard's texture.
