1/2 lb. refrigerated ready made pie crust 1 c. all-purpose flour 1 c. plus 2 T. packed light brown sugar 2/3 c. water 2/3 c. warmed milk 6 T. unsalted butter 1 t. vanilla extract 3 eggs, separated 1/3 c. sugar
Directions:
Line an 8-inch tart pan with the pastry, cover with aluminum foil or parchment, weight with dried beans and bake blind in a preheated 375°F oven for 30 minutes. Remove the pastry shell and reduce the oven to 300°F. Mix together the flour, brown sugar, water and milk in a saucepan and heat, stirring, until thickened. Remove from heat and blend in the butter, vanilla and egg yolks. Pour into the tart shell. Whisk the egg whites with the sugar to form a meringue, spoon on top of the filling and cover it completely. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the meringue is lightly browned.
