To prepare the crust, combine the first four ingredients. Add the butter and <a href="/7S3QCKWK">mix </a>well. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of the mixture for the <a href="/R34ZSY3M">topping; </a><a href="/4NXSJQ3D">press </a>the remainder into a 9-inch pie <a href="/ZJ3WDM5Q">plate </a>to form the crust. <a href="/RNT367Z2">Bake </a>for 5 minutes in a 400-degree oven.

To prepare the filling, place the milk in the <a href="/R34ZSY3M">top </a>of a double boiler. <a href="/FVYNJCCW">Warm </a>over medium-high <a href="/XZFHRHHF">heat,</a> until a <a href="/8YHHJCST">skin </a>begins to form on <a href="/R34ZSY3M">top </a>of the milk.

<a href="/7S3QCKWK">Mix </a>the 3/4 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons cornstarch together, then slowly add to the milk until the mixture starts to <a href="/LXP6HLBF">thicken </a>like a pudding.

Add about a 1/4 cup of the mixture to the egg yolks, <a href="/7S3QCKWK">mix </a>to <a href="/XZFHRHHF">heat </a>up the yolks, then repeat. Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the double boiler, <a href="/DRM2WPZ4">stirring </a>constantly.

To prepare the meringue for the <a href="/R34ZSY3M">top </a>of the pie, <a href="/3CYMY2D7">beat </a>the eggs whites, slowly adding 2 tablespoons of sugar. Continue <a href="/3CYMY2D7">beating </a>until soft peaks form.
