Notes
The best pie pan: You need a 9-inch pie dish make this recipe. It also needs to be quite a deep dish, not a flat pie plate (as the crust has to contain the runny custard mixture).
Combining the ingredients: Make sure the eggs are well beaten before adding the sugar and then mix that well before adding the remaining ingredients, in order to ensure your filling comes out smooth and even.
Let it cool: It's important to let the pie cool on a wire rack and then sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours to get the texture perfect.
