Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Huckleberries: Form the fruit filling and provide the main flavor of the pie.
Eggs: Set the custard so it holds together when sliced.
Sugar: Sweetens the custard and balances the tartness of the berries.
Butter: Adds richness and a smooth, tender texture to the custard.

The step that matters

Bake until the custard is set. Eggs set as they heat, so underbaking leaves a runny filling that will not slice cleanly. Overbaking can make the egg custard curdle and turn grainy or watery.
