-------- ------------ --------------------------------
--Crust--
1 1/2 Cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
1 Teaspoon Flour
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Butter Or Margarine -- melted
--Filling--
3 Egg Yolks
2 Cups Milk
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
FOR THE CRUST:
Mix dry ingredients together. Add the melted shortening and stir
together. Use half of this mixture to line an 8 or 9-inch pie pan,
pressing mixture to bottom and sides with fingers. Save the other half
of mixture for topping.
FOR THE FILLING:
Mix egg yolks and milk in top of a double boiler. Mix sugar and
cornstarch and add to egg mixture. Cook until mixture coats a spoon,
stirring constantly. Add vanilla. Cool slightly and pour into pie
crust. Top with merengue. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake
at 400° until merengue is slightly browned, about 5 to 10 minutes. Cool
several hours (at least 2) to allow filling to set before serving.
Serves: 6 to 8
