Meringue
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/4 c sugar
tsp vanilla
beat egg whites until ribbon stage. add cream of tarter & vanilla. beat & slowly add sugar till soft peaks form. put on top of cooled pie; the rougher the meringue looks, the more ridges, the better.
broil until golden brown.
hint: replace the regular pie crust with a vanilla wafer crust. fill 9 inch pie tin with finely crushed vanilla wafers and melted butter, like you would with a graham cracker crust.
