Egg custard in pastry

It could be your bowl is too deep, so it takes longer to set the custard than to bake the pastry. Some cookbooks recommend (for custard pie, for instance) baking the two separately, in matching pie tins, then sliding the custard into the pie shell. That way the pastry isn't soggy.

We always baked our custards in a dish set in a pan of water, which prevented the bottom from burning.
