Categories: Pies, Desserts, Eggs, Dairy
Yield: 6 Servings
MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
2 1/2 c Graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c Brown sugar; packed
1/2 c Melted butter
MMMMM--------------------------CUSTARD-------------------------------
2 c Whole milk
2 lg Eggs
1/3 c Granulated white sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
MMMMM--------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
3 lg Egg whites
pn Cream of tartar
1/4 c Granulated white sugar
Set oven @ 350 F/175 C.
Prepare crust: Stir together crust ingredients until well
blended. Press mixture into 9" pie pan. Bake 9 to 11
minutes, or until crust is browned and crisp. Remove from
the oven. Increase oven temperature to 425 F/218 C.
Prepare custard: Heat milk in a small saucepan almost to a
boil. Remove from heat. Beat eggs slightly in a large
bowl. Whisk in sugar and salt. Add hot milk, (see Tips)
1/4 cup at time, whisking constantly to temper egg mixture
(to get warmer gradually). Whisk in vanilla. Pour custard
through a fine sieve and into the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle top of custard with cinnamon.
Bake on lower shelf of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes,
until custard is set and firm to touch. Remove from oven
and set on rack to cool slightly. (Keep oven on)
Prepare meringue: In large bowl, beat egg whites until
foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff
peaks form. Spread meringue over cooked custard, and
return to oven until the meringue is slightly browned.
Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
TIPS: Be sure to add milk gradually. If you add it to the
egg mixture all at once, you'll cook the eggs and end up
with scrambled eggs!
Refrigerate any leftover pie.
