Base for Cream Pies

makes 1 9" pie

Mix in a heavy sauce pan:
3/4 cup sugar
2 T flour
Dash of salt

Add: 1 1/4 cup whole milk
1 t vanilla flavoring
2 egg yolks
1/2 stick margarine

Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly,
until mixture comes to a good rolling boil.

Remove from the heat. Add 1 cup coconut.
(For a chocolate pie add 5T cocoa; you
can also use this base for pineapple,
banana,etc.)It's very versatile.

Mix.

Pour in a baked pie shell.

Top with meringue if desired. My family does
not like meringue so unless I'm making for
company or to take somewhere I don't use it.

If you need a good crust or meringue recipe
let me know.

Enjoy
