1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. You will need a 9-inch pie pan.
2. For the pastry, sift flour and salt together. Cut in butter and add just enough ice water to hold pastry together. Roll out and line a 9-inch pie pan. Chill.
3. For the filling, combine sugar, flour, salt and scalded milk. Cook in a double boiler over hot water, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add slowly to slightly beaten egg yolks. Return to the double boiler and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add butter, vanilla and walnuts. Cool.

5. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake until filling is firm; approximately 25 minutes. This pie may be topped with whipped cream when served.
