Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 3 tbsp ice water
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small pieces

Filling

  • 1 ¾ cup evaporated milk
  • 4 pcs eggs
  • 1 pc egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sugar

Instructions

  • To make the crust, combine all the dry ingredients including the flour, salt and white sugar.
  • Add the cold butter. Using a pastry blender or fork, mix it to the flour until you have a pebble-like or sand texture.
  • Add the egg yolk and gradually pour the ice-cold water. Mix it together until well combined and gather it into a ball shape figure. Cover it with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Sprinkle some flour on a clean flat surface. Flatten the dough using a rolling pin until it's wide enough for the 9 inch circular baking pan.
  • Gently arrange the flattened dough on top of the baking pan and trim the excess over hanging dough.
  • Make a crimped edge on the dough by using the thumb and forefinger of one hand, push with thumb of other hand, crimping and continue around crust.
  • Refrigerate the dough while preparing the filling.
  • Preheat the oven at 180° Celsius or 350° Fahrenheit
  • To make the filling, use a small pot over low heat and pour the evaporated milk. Heat the milk for 2 minutes.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vanilla extract. Pour the milk and mix it well.
  • Use a separate bowl, beat the egg white until soft peak form. Fold the meringue with milk-egg mixture.
  • Pour the filling on the pie crust. Bake for 15 minutes at 180° Celsius or 350° Fahrenheit. Then reduce the temperate to 160° Celsius or 325° Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool. Serve and enjoy!
