Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick) melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate.
- Melt the butter and pour it into the prepared pie plate, swirling to coat the bottom, then set aside.
Mixing and Baking
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the pie plate without stirring.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling
- Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the batter. The "impossible" crust forms during baking without any effort!
