Butterscotch Meringue Pie
6 oz digestive biscuits
2 oz melted butter
2 oz cornflour
½ pint of milk
3 oz light brown sugar
3 oz dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
4 egg whites
2 oz caster sugar
To make the base blitz the digestives in a food processor until fine. Then add the melted butter and blitz again briefly. Spread the biscuit mixture over the base and sides of a round dish and then put in the fridge to set.
To a bowl add the cornflour and 2 tablespoons of the milk. Mix together.
Heat the remaining milk in a jug for 1 minute in the microwave and then add the butter and the two types of brown sugar. Stir together.
Add the milk mixture to the cornflour and stir together, adding the vanilla essence.
Pour the mixture into a pan and bring to the boil before simmering for up to 5 minutes until thick and shiny. Pour over the biscuit base and leave to one side.
To make the meringue topping beat 4 egg whites until they reach soft peaks. Add the caster sugar and beat again until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Spoon on top of the butterscotch mixture and shape into peaks.
Bake in the oven at 200C fan for 5 minutes.
Serve (and devour!) immediately.
