Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups flour, 1/2 cup softened butter, and 1/4 cup sugar until crumbly. Press into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Step 2
In a saucepan, whisk 2 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, and 3 tbsp cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour the custard over the crust. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup sliced almonds.
Step 4
Bake until the custard is set and the top is golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
