2/3 of the mixture over baked pie crust. Combine flour, sugar, and
salt in the top of double boiler. Stir in milk. Cook over boiling
water, stirring constantly until thickened. Stir small amount of
cooked filling into egg yolks. Combine with remaining hot mixture;
cook for several minutes more. Add butter and vanilla. Pour into pie
shell. Top with meringue.

Meringue:

Beat egg whites until stiff; add cream of tartar. Mix sugar with corn

10 minutes or until delicately-browned. Cool before serving.

Notes:

I make the filling in the microwave oven instead of the double
boiler, stirring the mixture several times during cooking.
