* 1 unbaked 9-inch pastry shell


Directions

1. Combine eggs, sugar, butter, and vanilla; beat until well blended.
2. Stir in milk, and pour into pastry shell.
3. Sprinkle top with nutmeg.
4. Bake at 350-degrees F for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted 1-inch from edge of pie comes out clean.
5. Cool 10 minutes.
How do you prevent a burnt crust around the edge , rest of it was fine ,
should I have let the frozen pie-crust thaw out before using ?
would it have solidified earlier if I had used 'regular' instead of 'low-fat' milk
Thanks
