Recipe Introduction
An old New England recipe adapted by Fred Rowland
your best pie crust, baked
Filling:
1 cup sugar
3 Tab cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
In the top of a double boiler. Whisk in:
2 cups whole milk
Cook over medium for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and add a little of the mixture to 2 beaten egg yolks. Then add that to the mixture in the double boiler.. Cook and stir 5 minutes more...remove from heat... add juice and zest of two lemons at this point Fred stops with the recipe. After all he knows what to do next!!!
I take the two egg whites , beat frothy, add sugar and beat to a meringue, spread to the edges and brown in a 450 degree oven until golden... I have on occasion skipped the meringue, slathered on real whipped cream, added a few slices of lemon and a sprig of minutes as a garnish and served....
