2 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
4 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. butter
3 egg yolks

Using an iron skillet, brown one cup of the sugar to a dark brown syrup (watch carefully). Sift sugar, flour and salt; add milk gradually. Add this mixture to syrup. Stir and cook until thickened. Add small amount of hot mixture into beaten egg yolks, stir, then add yolks to sugar mixture and continue cooking and stirring another 2 minutes. Add butter and vanilla and blend. Pour into baked 9" pie crust.

Beat the three egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar added a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread on pie and brown in 350 degree oven about 10 minutes. Whipped topping may be used instead of meringue.
