[shanmonster]

This recipe is slightly adapted from Martha Stewart's.

• 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  
• 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  
• 1 cup raw sugar
  
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
  
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  
• 1 pie crust (see above), fitted into a 9-inch pie plate, well chilled
  
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• Heat oven to 425.
  
• Whisk eggs, flour, and sugar together in a bowl.
  
• Whisk in buttermilk and butter in 4 parts, alternating between the two.
  
• Whisk in vanilla.
  
• Pour filling into crust and sprinkle with nutmeg.
  
• Bake 15 minutes.
  
• Reduce heat to 325.
  
• Cover pie loosely with foil. Bake until set (35-40 minutes).
  
• Cool on a wire rack, and serve at room temperature.
  

I had extra filling, so made a few tarts, too.

The flavour is a very mild and pleasant custard.
