    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
    2–3 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling:

    3 large eggs
    3/4 cup granulated 

 sugar
1 teaspoon

     vanilla extract
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 1/2 cups whole milk, warmed
    1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Topping (Optional):

Measuring Spoon Set

    Whipped cream
    Ground cinnamon for dusting

Instructions:


    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper.
    Prepare the crust:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together.
    Shape and pre-bake the crust:
    Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and press it into the pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes.
    Make the custard filling:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Slowly pour in the warmed milk while whisking continuously.
    Assemble and bake:
    Pour the custard mixture into the pre-baked crust. Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
    Cool and chill:
    Allow the pie to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
    Serve:
    Top with whipped cream and a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.

Recipe Notes:

    For a richer flavor, replace part of the milk with half-and-half or light cream.
    You can use a store-bought pie crust for convenience.
    The pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
