Directions:Filling
1. Bake a single pie crust. (Pillsbury crust that comes in a red box in the deli case works great or make your own.) Cool.
2. Separate the whites from the yolks on the three eggs. Save both parts. Slightly beat the egg yolks.
3. In a double boiler or sauce pan, combine the sugar and the corn starch. Gradually stir in the hot water. Cook over medium heat. Stir constantly until thick. Boil one minute. Remove from heat.
4. Add the hot mixture to the slightly beaten egg yolks, a little at a time, then return to heat. Boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir until smooth.
5. Blend in remaining ingredients. Pour into pie shell while mixture is still hot.
