Egg Pie Recipe

Ingredients

Pie Crust

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water
• 2 tablespoon granulated sugar

Filling

• 1 3/4 cups evaporated milk
• 3 pieces raw eggs
• 1 piece egg, white separated from the yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup granulated sugar

 Cooking Procedure

1. Create the crust by combining the flour, sugar, and salt then mix well.

3. Gradually pour the cold water while mixing the ingredients. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Gather the dough and mold it into a ball-shaped figure.
5. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to harden the butter.
6. Sprinkle flour on a clean flat surface and flatten the refrigerated dough using a rolling pin. The flattened dough should be wide enough to cover a 9 inch circular baking pan.
7. Arrange the flattened dough on top of the baking pan and cut the extra edge using a pair of scissors.
