Raisin Custard Pie

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 3 egg yolks
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 2 tsp. lemon juice
• 1 pastry shell, baked

Meringue:

• 3 egg whites
• 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in the egg yolks, and milk until thoroughly combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil; boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Add raisins and lemon juice. Pour into pie shell. For meringue, beat egg whites in a small bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff and glossy. Spread over pie, making sure meringue covers all of the filling. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes, or until light golden brown. Serve warm or cold. Store leftovers in refrigerator. 8 servings.
