Easy Custard Pie
 
This is soooooo good AND easy!!

4 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 tsp vanilla
a pinch of salt
2 cups 2% milk
1/4 cup butter

Throw it in the blender. Blend well. Pour in a 9 inch greased (I use butter) pie pan and cook at 350 for 45 minutes.

Thanks for sharing ..... I'm thinking that with the flour, it separates and makes a crust, all on its own?

It's impossible pie. I make it all the time and add 1 cup flaked coconut and 1 cup chopped pecans. The nuts and coconut come to the top and brown and it is delicious. It does make it's own crust.

Another note on the pie. It bakes better in a pie pan rather than a glass pie plate.
The glass tends to keep the crust softer and the tin will bake a little more done on the bottom.

I've made the impossible quiche ... so know this one will be ever so delicious, especially with your coconut and pecan addition!

The impossible pie is one of my familys favorite...I do add the coconut...may have to make a couple today..always two, one for DH and I and one for DD and family. you are right about being easy....alway looking for time saving ideas..so there is more time at the sewing machine.

I'm trying this right now. This will be my new good to desert. Every time it seems I go to make a pie, I don't have a pre-purchased crust and jiffy pie crust is harder to find. Not having to worry with making a crust makes this the perfect recipe.
Thank you. thank you.

I have been making this delicious recipe for about three years now and it is a winner whenever I serve it. So far everyone has liked it except my son in law. His loss, right? Thanks for spreading the word about this so easy recipe.

I make this pie all the time!! It's a great hit with everyone. You can add some cocoa to make chocolate. Or some coconut to make it coconut custard.

Pippi65, what type chocolate do you use for this pie? Dry cocoa or melted chocolate? Thanks for you help...family loves chocolate...no, I LOVE chocolate.

You want to melt the butter.
This recipe reminded me of my aunt who was making this for company into her 90's. After seeing this yesterday I decided to make this for last nights dinner. I added coconut and my non coconut eating son wolfed it down.

Anael 05-05-2013 05:18 AM

It's in the oven now, I hope it works. Looked like vanilla milk when I poured it in the pan!

Yes ... it should thicken up nicely, and the flour will drop out to form a thin crust.
Did you add the coconut and nuts? or keep it plain?

Anael 05-05-2013 05:54 AM

I added the coconut, I didn't have nuts. So when this works maybe next time :)
It smells great!

Anael ... who cares about the pan ... just so long as it is good! :)

cactusmomma 05-05-2013 01:04 PM

Wow! Thanks. Everyone laughs at me when I tell them at 70 years of age I have never attempted to make a pie crust. I had an ex-mother-in-law whose crust melted in your mouth and I've always been intimadated by that. My mom's pie crust.........well. :-)

fran624 05-06-2013 04:41 AM

Steady Stiching Thank you very much for the reply. Will have to try this.

Anael 05-18-2013 04:27 AM

I'm making this for the 3rd time now. This time I added coconut and pecan nuts.

auntdeb 05-21-2013 05:47 PM

Tried your pie today along with the Rhubarb Custard Cake and we and our company loved them both. I love this board. Thank you, ladies, for all you do.

Cyn 05-21-2013 06:06 PM

Yum! I use to make this pie and loved it but misplaced the recipe and couldn't remember the name! So Thank You!

Go to Betty Crocker or Bisquick's websites. Put in Impossible Pies. You won't believe the list. I've been making this Impossible Custard Pie over 40 years. My blender went the trip sometime back, but I still am a great fan of the 'impossible' recipes. I just use my little hand mixer to whip them up. One of our favorite is Taco Pie, there are vegetable pies, such as broccoli an cauliflower, dessert pies, pumpkin, peach, apple, many more. Some for entree's, quiche like for breakfast's and brunches. You will get to love that box of Bisquick or you can use the less expensive brand or stir up the biscuit mix of your own. I'll see if I can find mine but I'm sure recipe sites have them especially the ones who do clones. By far though, this is the one I bake most frequently since Custard Pie is my very favorite!

lauriejo 05-24-2013 05:39 AM

Since going gluten free I make all my pies with this type of crust. I was pretty good at a regular pie crust, but gluten free pie crust is a royal pain.

nanacc 07-14-2013 10:44 AM

Made it with Splenda (diabetic hubby) and replaced 2% milk with water and condensed milk. We both loved it!!! Thank you!

irishrose 07-15-2013 07:57 PM

If you let it set 5 minutes before you put in the oven, you'll get more definition between the crust and custard. The Bisquick version has been around for many years.

nanacc 07-28-2013 09:50 PM

Thanks for this great recipe! I made the impossible pie many years ago and had forgotten about it. I like the custard version. I made it with Splenda for diabetic hubby and added nutmeg.
