For use in an Egg Custard Pie, DON'T COOK IT ON THE STOVE! Pour egg mixture into a deep dish 9 in. pie shell that has bee pre-cooked at 300 degrees for 5 min. rheat oven to 425. Then place back into oven at for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the pie is "set".


Cooking it on the stove will give you a rich creamy "pudding" cookngt as a pie gives you a custard.
