 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                       --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
