The flour magically settles to the bottom, forming a crust.

I make this pie about once a week. It’s that good! Using a glass pie pan typically produces a better crust, at least it does for me. However, if you prefer to use an aluminum pan… go for it!

I’ve been toying with the possibility of adding pumpkin to the recipe and topping it with pumpkin pie spice instead of nutmeg. Can you say yum?
