For the Pie Crust:\n
In a food processor, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.\n
Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.\n
Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together.\n
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.\n
Preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).\n
On a floured surface, roll out the pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie dish.\n
Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.\n
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.\n
Gradually add the whole milk and whisk until the mixture is smooth.\n
Pour the custard filling into the prepared pie crust.\n
Sprinkle ground nutmeg evenly over the top for a classic touch.\n
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the custard is set, and the top is lightly golden.
\nRemove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack.\n
Slice and serve your Old-Fashioned Custard Pie at room temperature.\n
Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.\n
