Directions:
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, mix together 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, milk, butter, and egg yolks, stirring until smooth. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup sugar in a 10 inch cast iron skillet. Cook over medium heat. As it begins to melt, tilt it around stirring constantly until sugar is caramelized. Keep rolling it, and it will get browner and browner. Push it around if the edges get too brown. Let it get real brown. Remove from heat and carefully pour into warm cream mixture. It acts like it will boil over, but stir it in, and be careful. Pour it easy and keep stirring. Cook until smooth and becomes the consistency of thick cream. Add vanilla. Pour mixture into pastry. Spread hot pie with meringue and bake at 350º about 15 minutes.

Meringue:
Combine egg whites with cream of tartar, and beat until soft peaks form. Add 4 Tablespoons of sugar, one Tablespoon at a time. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
