Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the 1 pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and crimp edges.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter and 1.5 cups sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in 3 eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 tablespoon flour, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
Step 5
Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Step 6
Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. Serve at room temperature.
