Directions
CRUST:
- See the Single Pie Crust recipe for instructions on preparing the crust for this
pie.
Bake pie crust for approximately 30 minutes, according to Single Pie Crust directions before
adding the filling.
FILLING:
- In a medium size saucepan, add the milk, sugar,
cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks. Stir ingredients until blended, and then over medium heat bring
this mixture to a boil and cook until thick.
Stir while the mixture is heating to prevent burning on the bottom of the pan. Once the mixture
has boiled or thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
When thoroughly mixed, pour the mixture& into the baked pie crust. Set aside while making the
meringue.
MERINGUE TOPPING:
- Allow egg whites to become room temperature. Beat
egg whites on high until they form a soft peak. While continuing to beat, add in the salt and then
add the powdered sugar a couple of tablespoons at a time.
Beat until the meringue forms
stiff peaks. Add cream of tartar and beat just enough to mix thoroughly. Do not over beat.
Spoon the meringue on top of the pie filling and spread evenly over the pie, making sure it
