    Source of Recipe


    Betty Crocker

    List of Ingredients





    1 baked pie shell

    2/3 cup sugar
    1/4 cup cornstarch
    1/4 teaspoon salt -- optional
    3 cups milk
    3 egg yolks -- save whites for meringue
    1 tablespoon margarine
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    1 cup coconut

    Recipe




    In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Gradually stir 1 cup of hot filling into egg yolks, return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in coconut, margarine and vanilla until margarine is melted.

    Top warm filling with meringue and brown.

    Yield: 1-9" pie


    NOTES : I cook mine in a double boiler, that way no problems with it sticking to the pan.
    You could substitute bananas for the coconut, and there you go, a banana cream pie.
