    List of Ingredients




    1/4 cup cornstarch
    1 cup light brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 cups milk, scalded
    3 slightly beaten egg yolks
    3 tablespoons butter
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    9-inch baked pie shell
    Meringue (optional):
    3 egg whites, stiffly beaten, or equivalent of pasteurized egg whites, see text above
    6 tablespoons sugar

    Mix cornstarch, sugar and salt. Gradually add milk. Cook in double boiler, stirring constantly, until thick. Take 1 cup of the mixture and slowly pour into egg yolks; add egg yolks to remaining mixture. Cook approximately 5 minutes longer, or until thick. Remove from heat, cool (about 5 minutes), then add butter and vanilla. Pour into pie shell.

    If making meringue: Whip sugar into egg whites until firm, but not dry. Cover pie with meringue and refrigerate. Or skip meringue and serve with whipped cream.
