Peach Custard Pie I

This is very similar to a peach pie recipe that was handed down from my grandmother. Interestingly, hers makes one pie but all the other ingredients on Patti's recipe are doubled. (1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 2 tbl butter and 2 eggs). It probably just means more of that yummy custard. This is one of my top 10 foods of all time.

It is very easy to make and has a wonderful taste. It was fairly runny though and more of a soupy pie. We had to use bowls when eating it. But because it tastes so good, it went pretty fast. I would still make it again, perhaps using more flour.

I don't know if something was left out of this recipe but what I made was a flop. i used what was called for, baked per instructions, but it never set up all I had was juice.

Is there milk left out of this recipe? A custard, by definition, is made with milk and eggs. When I made the egg mixture, I could see right away it would not adequately cover the peaches. I added 1/4 cup of cream and it still just barely covered them. The pie has a good flavor, though, and disappeared quickly. I may make it again with my alteration.

I went to allrecipes to see if my mother-in-law's "peach custard" pie recipe was missing something--it was not. It's the same one as this and, while it's different in that there is no milk as in a traditional "custard" it's always a hit when I serve it this time of year,

I agree with the previous reviews of the pie being too runny. It did seem like something was missing.

Like the other reviews this pie is very runny. It tasted good but more like soup. I wonder if the egg is the problem. I notice here in Canada that the sizes of the eggs are getting smaller. A large egg is now the size of a medium egg. I think that two extra large eggs might help the runniness of this pie instead of just one egg.

Okay so I bake a lot and this recipe is seriously flawed. Some significant changes need to be made for it to turn out like the picture. I tried ultragel for thickener and that was a huge step in the right direction and also 1.5 eggs but still that was insufficient.

I made it as written. It was a runny mess as stated by other reviewers. I think Gardners response is the right one. More flour, sugar and butter, and 2 eggs. It did taste good, but not what the picture looked like.
