Follow The Directions
01
StepCrust Preparation (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the crushed graham crackers with 1/2 cup of melted butter. Once moistened, firmly press the mixture into the base and up the sides of a pie dish to form a solid crust.
02
StepEgg Mixture Creation (5 minutes): In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and white sugar until well combined. Incorporate the cornstarch and cake flour into the mixture, ensuring a smooth consistency.
03
StepInfusion and Custard Base (10 minutes): In a saucepan, gently heat the milk along with the cinnamon stick until it's just about to boil. Gradually whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture, ensuring continuous whisking to prevent curdling. Then, pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan.
04
StepCustard Thickening (10 minutes): Cook the milk-egg mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens into a custard-like consistency. This should take approximately 5-10 minutes.
05
StepFinishing Touches (5 minutes): Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, lending a rich and smooth finish. Pour the resulting custard into the prepared graham cracker crust, and sprinkle the top evenly with cinnamon sugar.
