  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold, cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup ice water
For the Custard Filling
  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping

Method
 

Make the Crust
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and sugar.
  2. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  6. Prick the bottom with a fork and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
Prepare the Custard
  1. In a saucepan, combine milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Gradually add a bit of the hot milk mixture to temper the yolks.
  3. Pour the tempered yolks back into the saucepan and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly.
Assemble the Pie
