Remember the way our ancestors used to cook with healthy ingredients that everyone knows by name? There was no mixed box and shortcuts. What you put in a cake you take out straight from the farm or the farmers market. This silky, creamy custard pie reminds me of my grandmothers cooking. When she was cooking everything seemed to come together quickly and easily but tasted very exceptional.

A delicious custard pie has six ingredients if you buy an uncooked pie crust. I know what you’re thinking Grandma would never do. You’re right but times were different back then and there wasn’t as much of a distraction back then as it is now.
