Caramel Custard Pie, for pixink!

[chamisa]

Pie!

Note: I used a different crust recipe than the one in the pie recipe, so I can't attest to the crust. I can however attest to the scrumptiousness of the filling!

The crust recipe I used:

Cook's Illustrated Foolproof Pie Crust2 1/2 cups (12 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour

I like that icon ... cooking-related nose-art. Kewl. Amanda (cissa) needs one of those.

Thanks, although I'm not entirely sure what "nose-art" is.

[galdrin]

Nose-art was the 'racy' artwork painted on the nose of the WW-II aircraft. (You should be able to Google or Yahoo it for examples.)

I was looking at the icon you used for these posts and, with a bit of racier tweaking, would be perfect 'cooking' nose-art.

[chamisa]

Oh, right--I'm familiar with the racy art on the noses of WW-II era aircraft--I guess I didn't know that it was called nose-art. You're right, that lady would fit on the nose of one of those planes!

....WOW.
I know a certain inhabitant of my household who is 1. Shameless about pie and 2. a huge fan of caramel. He is small and sticky generally and this would make him especially sticky but so worth it...

[chamisa]

Hee! Actually, it is surprisingly not too sticky. It's light in texture and taste--which makes it extra yummy, because it's not too heavy and sticky, it's just smooth caramely custardy. Though I'm sure your certain someone would become sticky enough in the eating. :-)

Oh, yum! I am surprised the filling doesn't have egg in it. In my mind, this was a chess pie. I'll have to try it some time!

[chamisa]

It has 2 eggs. Sorry, I need to make that more clear in the recipe. Will go do that now.

Ah-ha! :)
