NOTES

Ideas for making the custard filling: 

• After the primary boil, the custard needs to be the consistency of gravy.
• After the second boil, it needs to be the consistency of pudding.

Ensure your custard is actually at a boil earlier than you begin your first timer. What takes my range a minute might take your range 2 minutes. The custard will thicken because it cools, and thickens much more after chilling within the pie crust for at the least an hour, but when your custard seems like soup and never like fresh-made pudding then it might be undercooked.
