Custard Pie

Line a pie-dish with crust; put six eggs into a bowl, and beat until quite light, then add two ounces of finely-powdered white sugar and a pint and a half of milk, and mix well; put this into the dish and bake in a moderate oven for thirty minutes. Take it out and grate a little nutmeg over the top. If it is to be served cold, stand it in cold water in a cool place, because if it does not cool at once the crust gets soaked and spoiled.
