Pies

Ingredients

  • Recipe By : Mrs. Alexander J. Ross
  • --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

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.
