Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Place pie crust in a 9‑inch pie plate and flute the edges if desired.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and whisk until just combined—do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top gently.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is set at the center and golden on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely (about 1 hour) before slicing to allow it to firm up.
- Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Notes
- If the crust edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking.
- Let the pie cool fully to prevent a runny center.
- Try adding a teaspoon of lemon or almond extract for a flavor twist.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
