Then stir this, the Large eggs, butter and flavoring into the lowfat milk and sugar mix. Cook till thickened; pour into baked pie shell. Prepare meringue as instructed below, if you like.

  4. Continue beating, adding sugar gradually till stiff sufficient to hold peaks. Spread on pie filling, making sure meringue is sealed to crust.
  5. Brown at 400 degrees 8 to 10 min.
  6. Whipped Cream Topping:In a small bowl, whip cream at high speed till thick. Fold in sugar and vanilla. Spread on chilled pie. Must be refrigerated.

  8. "My mother, Lucille Holloway, is now 85 years old and lives with my husband and me. She is a great cook, both from recipes and "just cooking." This is among the few of the "just cooking" dishes which I've been able to make a recipe from. She made it before she ever married.
  9. She still sometimes stirs up salmon patties or possibly peach cobbler for us."
