Ingredients
- 22 graham crackers, crushed (the whole cracker)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
- 1/4 clove melted butter or margarine
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons (heaping) flour
- 3 egg yolks; reserve whites
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 tablespoons (additional) sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the crushed graham crackers with the cinnamon and set aside 1/4 cup of the mixture. Add the melted butter to the rest of the mixture and spread in a greased 9-by-13-inch pan. Bake 10 minutes.
Step 2
For custard filling, cook the milk, 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and egg yolks in a heavy saucepan or double boiler until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Stir until mixed. Pour filling into baked crust.
For meringue topping, beat egg whites with the 5 tablespoons of sugar until stiff. Add a dash of vanilla, if desired. Spread meringue topping over the custard filling, then sprinkle the reserved graham cracker mixture over the top and bake for 20 minutes. Chill overnight. Serve with whipped cream.
