I found this recipe that is delicious, but make sure not to let the custard set too long, or it may get "slimy/rubbery". I would definitely make this again and I did crush my own graham cracker crumbs. This would go very well with a good dessert wine, something sweet and full-bodied.
I Can't Have No Affair Because It's Wrong & I Don't Want Earl to Kill Me Pie
2 1/2 C. graham cracker crumbs
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. melted butter
2 large eggs
1/3 C. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 C. milk, scalded
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 egg whites
1/2 C. white sugar
Mix crumbs, brown sugar and butter until well-blended. Press mixture into a 9-inch pan. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Beat eggs slightly in a large bowl. Add sugar and salt. Slowly stir in hot, scalded milk. Add vanilla. Strain mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle top with cinnamon. Bake on lower shelf 25-30 minutes, or until custard is firm. In larger glass mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 C. white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie after custard is set, return to oven until meringue is slightly brown. Cool 15 minutes.

Margley, where on EARTH did you find this recipe? Also, you have reminded me I have to write a post recommending a memoir I read this summer about pie.
ReplyDeleteAs I said, it is from a movie where pies are a pretty big portion. The movie was called Waitress and is very good!
ReplyDeleteHeart that movie! Heart the name!
