Coconut oil is a dairy-free alternative.

In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 stick of softened unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, 1 heaping tablespoon of flour, 1.5 tablespoons of cornmeal, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Blend together well.

Next, add 0.5 cup of eggnog and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Blend in well.

Add 4 large eggs and blend together well.

Add around 0.25 teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg.

Switch to a spatula to ensure everything is blended well.

Pour the mixture into an unbaked standard size pie shell.

Jiggle and tap the pie a couple of times to even out the filling.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for at least 1 hour, probably more like 1 hour and 10-15 minutes.

Check for doneness: the filling should be slightly puffed, with a nice dark golden brown top and the middle should no longer jiggle.
