Directions:
Preheat oven to 200ºC/400ºF. In a medium saucepan, gently brown the sugar until it is a deep golden colour and smells of toffee. Next add in the milk, salt, arrowroot and eggs and whisk thoroughly until no lumps remain. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie shell. In a clean, dry, bowl whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until soft peaks form, then add in the sugar a little at a time until stiff peaks form - spoon the meringue onto the filling. Bake in the centre of the oven until the meringue is golden about 5-8 minutes.

Personal Notes:
My Grandma Lauer would make this pie for my Aunt's birthday. Grandma made all of her children and grandchildren something special for our birthdays, if we lived nearby. My Aunt told me this was her favourite birthday treat and so it was important to me to add it to this book.
