WHITE PIE

1 c. sugar, divided 
1/2 c. cake flour 
1/8 tsp. salt 
2 c. milk 
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten 
1 tsp. vanilla 
1 10-in. pie shell, baked 
1/2 pt. whipping cream 

Cook 3/4 c. sugar, flour, salt, and milk in a double boiler until thick, stirring constantly.  Beat egg whites until stiff, adding remaining 1/4 c. of sugar.  Fold egg mixture into cooked mixture along with the vanilla.  Pour into a baked and cooled pie shell; top with whipping cream.  Chill overnight before serving. 
Note: If you do not have cake flour, you may substitute 1/2 c. regular flour, minus 2 tbsp. and add 2 tbsp. cornstarch, to replace the flour you removed!
