June is National Dairy Month so I'm sharing 4 cream pies this week.

Cream Pie
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk, scalded
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
2 eggs, well beaten

Combine butter, sugar, salt, flour and eggs. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. Cook over hot water until thick and smooth. Add flavoring. Pour into baked pastry shell. Cool. Serve with whipped cream. If desired, cover pie with meringue. Bake in slow oven (325 F.) 20 minutes.

Macaroon Cream Pie
Prepare filling for cream pie (above). Add 1 cup dried, crushed, almond macaroons. Cook until flavors are blended. Pour into baked pastry shell. Cover with meringue. Bake in slow oven (325 F.) 20 minutes. If desired, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 cup chopped nuts may be added to filling.
