3 c. milk, scalded
1/3 c. Burnt Sugar Syrup (below)
4 eggs, well beaten
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. cornstarch
Baked 10-inch pie shell

Blend together milk and Burnt Sugar Syrup. Combine beaten eggs, sugar, salt and vanilla. Slowly cook all ingredients together over low to medium heat until thick and bubbly. Pour into baked pie shell.

BURNT SUGAR SYRUP:

2 c. sugar
1 c. boiling water

Pour sugar in heavy skillet. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon to prevent scorching. When sugar becomes clear, brown syrup, stir in boiling water. Stir until it is smooth. Cool. This is enough for 3 pies. You can put meringue on top.
