Shortbread Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 cups flour

1. Mix butter and sugar together until creamy.
2. Add 2 1/2 cups flour. Mix thoroughly.
3. Sprinkle remaining flour onto clean surface, turn out dough, knead until dough cracks. Move dough to foil-lined baking sheet. Pat out and cut into squares. Alternately, you can roll out the dough and use cookie cutters. Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
4. Bake at 275F for 45 minutes or until lightly browned.

Custard Pie

1 pie crust
4 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups scalded milk
Nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Put pie crust in pie pan. Make sure there are no holes or the filling will run through.
2. Mix eggs, sugar, and vanilla in bowl. Add scalded milk slowly while stirring (too fast and you'll cook your eggs).
3. Pour mixture into pie crust. You may want to reserve a cup of the mix and pour it in after you place the pie in the oven so it doesn't spill. Sprinkle top with nutmeg.
4. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
