1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup white sugar
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
