Directions:
In a saucepan over medium scald 2 cups milk or until tiny bubbles form around the edge of the pan. In another saucepan combine 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend in the milk gradually to the flour mixture. Cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
In a bowl beat 2 egg yolks. Stir a small amount of the hot milk and flour mixture into the beaten egg yolks then return to the hot mixture. Cook for 1 minute then stir in 2 tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla; cool.
Slice 4 cups strawberries; reserving 1 cup for garnish. Place the remaining strawberries in a 9-inch baked pie shell. Spread the custard on top. Combine 2 egg whites, 1 cup powdered sugar, and the reserved berries. Beat until stiff peaks form then spread the mixture over the pie. Chill.
