      1/3  cup           butter or margarine -- softened
      1/2  cup           white sugar
    2      tablespoons   cornstarch
    1      tablespoon    all-purpose flour
      1/2  teaspoon      salt
    2      cups          milk
    2                    egg yolks -- beaten
    1      tablespoon    butter or margarine
    1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
    3                    egg whites
      1/4  cup           white sugar
      1/2  teaspoon      almond extract
 
 Directions: 1 Mix together graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup
 softened butter or margarine.  Press into a 9 inch pie plate, reserve 1/4 cup
 for topping.  Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 minutes.  2 Mix 1/2
 cup sugar, cornstarch, flour, and salt in a saucepan.  Stir in milk gradually.
 Cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
 Cook 2 minutes more.  Add a little of this hot mixture to beaten egg yolks,
 then stir yolks into hot mixture.  Cook 1 minute while stirring.  Remove from
 heat; stir in 1 tablespoon butter or margarine and vanilla.  Cool 15 minutes,
 and pour into crumb crust.  Cool completely.  3 Beat egg whites until soft
 peaks form.  Slowly add 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff and glossy.  Stir
 in almond extract.  Spread meringue over filling, and against the edge of
 crust to seal.  Sprinkle with reserved crumbs.  4 Bake at 425 degrees F (220
 degrees C) just until meringue is golden, about 4 to 5 minutes.  Cool
 completely before serving.  Makes 1 pie
