S&W Custard Pie Recipe
= Submitted by Jeannie V. =

1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons butter -- at room temperature
1/2 tsp salt
4 large eggs -- beaten
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pie shell -- (10-inch) unbaked

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter and
salt and beat with electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and mix until
well-blended; then add milk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Turn mixture
into pie shell and bake 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake
until edges set and middle is still jiggly, about 12-15 minutes longer (a
table knife inserted into pie should come out clean). Let pie cool, then
chill slightly before serving.
