1 graham cracker, butter crunch or pastery pie crust
1/4 cup cornstarch
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups scalded milk
3 egg yolks, slightly beaten
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Fruit-any kind but berries taste best
Mix cornstarch, sugar, and salt in saucepan. Gradually add milk, stirring well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and boiling. Boil 2 minutes and remove from heat. Stirring quickly, gradually add about 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the beaten egg yolks. You want to be careful not to let it sit or the eggs will cook and you will have a chunky pudding...yuck! So stir quickly! When it is well mixed, add the egg mixture back into the hot milk and cook for 1 min. still stiring constanly. Remove from heat and add butter and vanilla. Cool slightly and add fruit. Pour into crust. If crust isn't completely full, top with freshly beaten whipped cream or a meringue.
