Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 eggs or 3 egg whites
1 tablespoon margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 (9 inch) pie crusts, pre-baked
Directions:
In a microwavable bowl, mix sugar, flour, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk and eggs or egg whites. Add to dry ingredients.
Microwave for two minutes and stir.
Return to microwave for one minute intervals, stirring in between, until custard starts to cook. (3 or 4 more minutes. I generally quit cooking after a 1-inch ring of cooked custard forms around the edge of the bowl.).
Remove from microwave and add margarine and vanilla.
Cool slightly and pour into pie crust. Cover with wax paper and refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
