Pie Crust
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup cold water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Filling
1 & 3/4 evaporated milk
3 pieces raw eggs
1 piece egg, white separated from the yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Gradually pour the cold water while mixing the ingredients.
Continue mixing until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Gather the dough and mold it into a ball-shaped figure.
Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to harden the butter.
Sprinkle flour on a clean flat surface and flatten the refrigerated fough using a rolling pin.
The flattened dough should be wide enough to cover a 9-inch circular baking pan.
Arrange the flattened dough on top of the baking pan and cut the extra edge a pair of scissors.
Refrigerate while doing the filling.
2. Make the filling.
Scald the evaporated milk by heating it in the microwave oven for 2 minutes.

Fold the processed egg white in the milk-eggs-sugar mixture.
3. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Pour the filling mixture on the refrigerated pie crust.
5. Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit then lower the heat to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for 30 to 40 minutes.
6. Remove the egg pie from the oven and let cool.
7. Serve for dessert.
