Canadian Flapper Pie
A classic Canadian Prairie custard pie set in a graham cracker crust and topped with meringue. Pouring the hot milk gradually over the whisked egg yolks while stirring constantly is what tempers them safely, preventing the eggs from scrambling before the custard thickens on the stove.
