This Orange Custard Pie was a recipe I found in the back of an old recipe box. I also happen to have an orange tree that is bursting with oranges. It's pretty simple to make and is delicious.

Ingredients

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

3 egg yolks, beaten

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon butter, melted

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1 cup orange juice

3 egg whites

6 tablespoons white sugar

1 orange, for garnish

Directions

1Preheat oven to 450° F.

2In a medium bowl, beat together egg yolks and ½ cup sugar until mixture is thick and lemon-colored. Add flour, melted butter, grated orange rind, and orange juice. Mix thoroughly, then pour into pastry shell.

3Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° F and bake an additional 25 minutes, until custard is set.

4In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy.

5Gradually add 6 tablespoons sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Spread meringue over pie, covering completely. Return to oven for 10 minutes, until meringue is golden brown. Cool before serving. Garnish with orange slices.
