Hope this helps
Raisina (Funeral Pie)
1 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
4 egg yolks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups raisins, coarsely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 tablespoons white sugar
3 egg whites
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked and cooled
Beat the yolks in a bowl on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Whisk
together 1 cup of sugar, the flour and the salt. Slowly add the sugar and
flour mixture to the yolks. Beat this mixture until it falls in ribbons
from the beater blade. Scald the milk; add it very slowly beating all the
time. Pour yolk mixture into a saucepan. Add the butter or margarine to
the saucepan. Cook while stirring, over medium heat, until the custard
thickens; this will take 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let boil. Remove from
heat, and add the vanilla and the raisins. Cover immediately with plastic
wrap. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Beat in, slowly, 6 tablespoons
sugar and cream of tartar. Make sure the filling is still hot, and pour
filling into the crust. Top right away with the meringue; spread to the
edges. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or
until browned Cool pie on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
