My Grandmother used to make me this pie when I was a youngster. It is the best pie you’ll ever taste!
Ingredients
- 1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 cups milk
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup ground pecans
- 4 egg whites
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
Step 2
In the top of a double boiler, combine yolks, milk, 2/3 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup pecans. Pour filling into baked pie shell.
Step 3
In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Beat in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and gradually add 6 tablespoons white sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue over pie, covering completely. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup ground pecans.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until meringue is delicately browned.
