FILLING

Pastry: Beat together butter & sugar. Add egg, and then add in dry ingredients. You should get a crumbly mix. Press this into a pie dish and bake at 350F for 20 minutes.

Filling: Boil the milk. In another bowl/pot (depending on whether you are using a microwave or cooker), beat the egg and sugar. Add the flour & cornflour to the egg/sugar mixture and beat this together. Add the milk and cook till it thickens. (This works well in a microwave oven). Remove from heat and add vanilla & butter. Beat well, and pour into the baked shell.

Sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, and cool. (This is best refrigerated.) Posted to rec.food.recipes by japlady@... (Rebecca Radnor) on 1995, .
