Recipe Introduction


Farm Journals Pie Recipes


List of Ingredients




This filling also works great with a graham cracker crust!
And there are so many variations

(makes 3 pie fillings - saves time!)

2 tsp. unflavored gelatin
6 c. milk
2 c. sugar
9 Tb. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt
6 egg yolks, beaten
6 Tb. butter or margarine
3 tsp. vanilla


Recipe



Soften gelatin in 1/4c. milk.

Scald remaining milk. Add the combined sugar, cornstarch and salt; continue heating rapidly until boiling, stirring constantly.

Stir about 1/2 c. of the hot mixture into egg yolks; pour back into saucepan; simmer 5 minutes more.

Stir in gelatin mixture; add butter and vanilla. Pour into three 8" pie pans; freeze. (Frozen filling will be right diameter to fit 9" shell.)

Remove from pan, wrap in moistureproof freezer material; retrurn to freezer.

To Bake: Place unthawed filling in baked 9" pastry shell. You may cover it with a fruit or coconut layer (see variations), then top with meringue, making sure it touches crust all around. Bake in moderate oven (375ºF.) about 10 - 12 minutes. (For best result, avoid heating the filling completely through.) Cool.

Meringue: Beat 3 egg whites (fresh or thawed frozen) with 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar until frothy; beat in 6 Tb. sugar, a little at a time. Beat until meringue stands in firm peaks. Spread on frozen filling at once.

Pastry for Freezing: Recipes using 1/3 c. shortening to each cup of flour are recommended by the Texas home economists at Texas Technological College. Pastry made with less fat did not freeze as well; neither was oil pastry at its best when frozen.

VARIATIONS:

Banana Cream Pie; Slice 2 ripe bananas over frozen filling; sprinkle with 1 Tb. confectioners sugar. Cover with meringue (we don't do this!) and bake.

Strawberry or Peach Cream Pie:
Arange 1 1/2 c. sliced strawberries or peaches over frozen filling' sprinkle with 3 Tb. confectioners sugar' cover with meringue and bake.

Coconut Cream Pie"
Sprinkle 1 1/2 c. flaked coconut over frozen filling' cover with meingue and bake.


It's me again! Get creative with this recipe. There are so many variations you can do if you let yourself get a little reckless! Try raspberries, mandarin oranges, blackberries...........
