Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400.
- Line a 9 inch pie plate with crust and crimp the edges. (Or if using the frozen pie crust that is already in a pie pan - just thaw).
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla and almond - mix well using a whisk.
- Melt the butter in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl and allow to cool.
- If adding the butter while still hot - then temper the egg mix by pouring a small amount of the butter into the egg mix while whisking. Whisk for a minute and then add more. Whisk again and keep repeating until fully incorporated.
- Place the pie on the middle rack in the oven at 400 and bake for 10 minutes then lower the heat to 350 and bake for another 30 - 35 minutes.
- The pie is done when golden brown on top and when the pie wiggles only a little when you bump it from the side of the pan.
- Place the pie on a cooling rack and allow it to completely cool before serving.
Notes
- Usually you need to beat eggs before you add them to something like this - but one of the beauties of this pie is that you simply put it all in and mix it up!
- You will want to melt the butter and let it cool before you add it to the mix.
- If the butter is a little warm at all - then you will want to do what is known as “tempering” the egg mix. If you simply pour hot butter into the egg mix - it will scramble your egg mix - eww. Instead add a little drizzle of the hot butter while whisking the egg mix. Keep whisking. Then add a little more while whisking.
- Whisk some more. Then add more - and so on until the hot butter is completely added.
- You will want the butter to be completely melted - not with bits and parts that are not melted because it will make spots in your pie.
- Do not use imitation vanilla or imitation almond extract - use real.
- Don’t cut the pie while it is still warm or it could ooze.
- Don’t forget to cut the temp down or the top of the pie will be overdone and the inside of the pie won’t be fully cooked.
- I can’t think of a single extra tip - this pie is really “easy as pie”.
