3 tablespoons sugar |
1/3 cup melted butter |
2 cups hot milk |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 egg yolks, beaten (save whites for top) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. CRUST:.
2. Mix the first three ingredients well.
3. Press into a pie plate, saving about 3 tablepoons for the top.
4. Bake at 400 degrees till lightly browned, about 7-8 minutes.
5. FILLING:.
6. In a saucepan put the milk, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and egg yolks.
7. Cook over medium heat till it comes to a boil; boil about 1/2 to 1 minute and take off the heat.

9. Whip the eggs whites using a couple of tablespoons of sugar to make a meringue.
