Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
Prepare the Filling: In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and nutmeg. Let cool slightly.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Slowly temper the eggs by whisking in a small amount of the warm milk mixture, then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan and stir to combine.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
