🥄 1 teaspoon baking powder
🧈 4 tablespoons soft unsalted butter

For the Filling:
🌽 1/2 cup cornstarch
💧 1/2 cup cold water
🥛 1 can evaporated milk
🥛 1 can condensed milk
🍦 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
🌿 Ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Crust:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
• Add the softened butter and mix it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Incorporate the egg, mixing well.
• Gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms.
• Roll the dough out to about 0.5 cm thick.
• Place the rolled dough into a greased 12-inch pie pan, trimming the edges as needed.
• Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbles.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 35 minutes.
• Allow the crust to cool completely before adding the filling.

2- Prepare the Filling:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in cold water, ensuring there are no lumps.
• In a pot over low heat, combine the evaporated milk and condensed milk.
• Stir continuously and add the vanilla extract.
• When the milk mixture is heated through, slowly add the cornstarch mixture while whisking constantly.
• Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens.

3- Assemble the Pie:

• Pour the thickened milk filling into the cooled pie shell.
• Let the pie rest until it has cooled and the filling has become firm enough to slice.
• Before serving, sprinkle the top with a bit of ground cinnamon.
