Flapper's Pie
This recipe is from my Irish/Canadian grandmother, who was born and raised on the Canadian prairies. This is AWESOME!!
Ingredients:
Crust:
1Ό cups graham crackers
Ό cup melted butter
½ cup sugar
dash of cinnamon
(you can cheat and get a store made crust, but it WONT BE AS GOOD!)
Filling:
2½ cups of milk
½ cup of white sugar
Ό cup of cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
Meringue Topping:
3 egg whites
Ό cup of sugar
Ό tsp of cream of tartar
Instructions
1. Mix all the topping ingredients together, save about 2 (or more) tbsp to the side and press the rest into a 10 inch pie plate, in the bottom and up the sides. Refrigerate.
2. Combine the filling ingredients together and cook on a medium heat until it boils and thickens, making sure to stir constantly! Set aside to cool while you make the meringue.
3. Beat the meringue ingredients together until they form stiff peaks.
4. Pour the filling into the crust and top with the meringue, making beautiful little spikes that will brown up all lovely on top!
Sprinkle the rest of the crumbs on the top and slide into a 350 degree oven.
5. Bake until the meringue browns like below, around 10 minutes but watch it carefully!
6. Cool in the fridge and eat the same day. This is best made mere hours before serving. Dont know how long it keeps, because we never had any left over! ☺
