This recipe for old fashioned cream pie is similar to one my Granny's family made. Pies like this were made for guests or for cake and pie sales at church picnics.

Cream Pie

Two eggs, one cupful sugar, two tablespoonfuls corn starch; beat eggs, sugar and starch together. Boil one pint milk, season with vanilla; just as it boils, stir in the mixture; stir all the time, until it thickens. Before cooking, stir in one tablespoonful of butter; this is for the pie. Take three eggs, one cupful sugar, one quarter teaspoonful soda in one half cupful sour cream, one teaspoonful of cream of tarter mixed in one and one half cupfuls of flour. Bake quickly in jelly cake pans. When cold, slice the cake and put in layers of the above cream.

Another version of Cream Pie (Lemon)

Three eggs, three tablespoons of flour, one tablespoon of Crisco, one and one half pints of milk, one teaspoon lemon extract. Mix sugar and flour, then put into a saucepan, then add yolks of eggs, Crisco, milk and flavoring. Stir constantly until it thickens and then divide into two baked pie crusts and cover with a meringue made of whites of eggs.

This another old Kentucky recipe I have.
