1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/3 cups milk

2
Line a 9-inch pie plate with the rolled-out crust.

11
Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 375F and bake another 15 to 20 minutes, until almost completely set.

The filling should wobble very slightly in the center when the pan is jiggled, but a toothpick inserted 1 inch from the edge should come out clean.
