When I made this I left out the nutmeg and it turned out perfect! I also cut down on the vanilla the second time around, because the first time I made it the liquid rose to the top as it was baking and it looked very greasy. Other than that, it was by far the best and easiest custard recipe I have tried.

I made this for my friend who is 65. He said it was better than his Mama's! High praise from a native Texan. The only change I made was to use Tapioca flour (purchased from King Arthur) in place of the all-purpose flour. Thanks for the recipe!!

I made this recipe and it was outrageous!! Everyone loved it. The texture was perfect. That extra flour really works. This will be a family favorite for a long time.

I used only a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and played around with the other ingredients. My family enjoyed it.

This wasn't too bad. I give it a 4 star because of potential. I read some reviews and followed some suggestions, used only 3/4 cup sugar, and only 1/4 tsp nutmeg. I'm glad I cut the sugar down, it was the right amount. I thnk that the 1/4 tsp nutmeg still was a bit much, the nutmeg stands out too much. I will probably make this again, but either cut out the nutmeg, which I think would even be good..or just just barely a pinch so that it would be only a small hint of it.

My Great grandmother, Grandmother and Mother have all made this pie for holidays and it is still a family favorite. My mom has to make one for each kid in our family so we can take the leftovers home. This recipe is exactly how she makes it!! It is and will probably be my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!
