What is your favorite or most memorable Thanksgiving?!?
I'd have to say mine was in 1999!?!
My Dad was in the hospital, which unfortunately wasn't unusual...but...I wanted to make sure we had the best Thanksgiving that we could so I decided that I would cook the Thanksgiving dinner!?!
And, for desert I wanted to be sure to make my Grandpas favorite Homemade Butterscotch Pie with Meringue!?!
Everything came together pretty good...everyone enjoyed their meal as much as you could while worrying about other family members!?!
I guess it really doesn't matter what you eat, who your are with or where you are on Thanksgiving as long as you can remember to be thankful for everything that you have got!?!
Ingredients:
* 3/4 cup light brown sugar -- firmly packed
* 5 tablespoons flour
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 2 cups whole milk
* 2 egg yolks -- lightly beaten
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 1 baked pie shell -- 9-inch
Directions:
Combine the sugar, flour, and salt in the top of a double boiler over boiling water; stir in milk slowly.
Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Cover and cook 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
Lightly beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl.
Add about 1/4 to 1/3 of the hot mixture to the egg yolks, stirring quickly, then add the egg yolk mixture back to the pan.
Cook for about 1 more minute.
Add butter and vanilla; cool.
Place filling in pastry shell and garnish with whipped cream or cover with meringue made from the egg whites.
If you cover with meringue, bake at 325 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until meringue is nicely browned.
