6 Tips To Bake Custard Pie Like A Pro
Custard pie is a silky and creamy dessert that perfectly fits into your holiday feast. Here are six useful tips to make this sweet treat at home.
1.Do Not Over Whisk The Ingredients
Over whisking the eggs and other ingredients creates a lot of aeration and air bubbles that look very unpleasant.
2.Adjust Sugar
Too much sugar can make the custard pie overly sweet. So, use the sweetener accordingly.
3.Eggs And Sugar
Sugar can coagulate egg yolks so do not let them sit too long together and to prevent this from happening strain it twice.
4.Don’t Overcook It
Remove from the heat as soon as you observe ‘barely set’ appearance of the custard pie.
5.Let The Pie Cool Before Slicing
Let the pie sit in the refrigerator for some time before slicing. This will help it to set and become firm.
6.Bake The Pie Pastry Well
As the custard filling is very wet, it is important to bake the pastry well to prevent it from breaking.
