I made this with 4 eggs and only 2 cups of milk, because I was concerned about reports of the result being too wet. It fit perfectly in a regular-depth 9" pie shell. I also upped the vanilla to 1-1/4 tsp, and used about 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg. I didn't use any cinnamon. Before serving the pie, I sprinkled the top with confectioners sugar, and finished it off with a dash of ground nutmeg. I entered the pie in a pie competition, and it came in 2nd place out of 3 pies. So it's not totally below notice. The other two pies were both apple pies, and there were 3 judges on the panel. One apple pie got 2 winning votes from the judges, the Sauerkraut Custard got one vote, and the second apple pie received no votes.
