 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
                         --Crust--
    1 1/2  Cups          Graham Cracker Crumbs
    1      Teaspoon      Flour
      1/2  Cup           Sugar
    1      Teaspoon      Cinnamon
      1/2  Cup           Butter Or Margarine -- melted
                         --Filling--
    3                    Egg Yolks
    2      Cups          Milk
      1/4  Cup           Sugar
    2      Tablespoons   Cornstarch
    1      Teaspoon      Vanilla
 
 FOR THE CRUST:
 
 Mix dry ingredients together.  Add the melted shortening and stir
 together.  Use half of this mixture to line an 8 or 9-inch pie pan,
 pressing mixture to bottom and sides with fingers.  Save the other half
 of mixture for topping.
 
 FOR THE FILLING:
 
 Mix egg yolks and milk in top of a double boiler.  Mix sugar and
 cornstarch and add to egg mixture.  Cook until mixture coats a spoon,
 stirring constantly.  Add vanilla.  Cool slightly and pour into pie
 crust. Top with merengue.  Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.  Bake
 at 400° until merengue is slightly browned, about 5 to 10 minutes.  Cool
 several hours (at least 2) to allow filling to set before serving.
 
 Serves:  6 to 8
