How to make Vanilla Cream Pie:

  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt in saucepan.
  • Add milk gradually, blending in well. Cook over low heat, stirring until thick.
  • Stir a little of the hot mixture into egg yolks, then return to saucepan.
  • Continue cooking 2 minutes. Remove from heat; blend in margarine and vanilla.
  • Cover and cool to lukewarm, stirring occasionally. Pour into baked pastry shell.
  • Top with meringue or whipped cream. Yield: one 9-inch pie for 6 serving.

FOOD FOR THOUGHTS: ( Blend Right)

  • Blenders operate well only when two-thirds full. A blender that is too full may not operate at all.
