Shasta Mountain Caramel Pie

Source of Recipe


The Wakely Family Cookbook






List of Ingredients



• 5 eggs, separated
  
• 1 cup flour
  
• 5 Tbsp cornstarch
  
• 3 cups milk
  
• 3 Tbsp butter
  
• 2 cups sugar
  
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
  
• 3 (8-inch) pie shells, baked
  






Instructions



1. Save egg whites for meringue. Beat egg yolks, and add 1 cup sugar and flour. Add milk, cornstarch, and vanilla, and set aside.
   
   
2. In an iron skillet over medium heat, melt butter and caramelize 1 cup sugar. Keep stirring until it becomes liquid. Add milk mixture. The sugar will crackle and pop and look like plastic! That's fine. Stir constantly until it all melts into a thick, creamy caramel.
   
   
3. Pour into baked pie shells, top with a stiff meringue, and brown.
   
   Makes 3 pies.
