Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.66 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 0.25 cup ice water

Filling

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  • Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate.
  • Gently press the dough into the pie plate. Crimp the edges as desired.
  • Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the parchment paper and weights, and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • Let the crust cool slightly while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Filling and Bake

  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt.
  • Whisk in the lightly beaten eggs.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk.
  • Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For an extra rich pie, you can use half-and-half instead of milk. Chill thoroughly before slicing.
