In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract.
Place over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
Once thickened, pour the filling over the crust in the pie dish.Step 5: Bake the Pie
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.Step 6: Cool and Serve
