Italian Cream Pie / 100 Egg Cream Pie
1 Quart Milk
1 Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Corn Starch
8 Egg Yolks
1 Orange Peel (One Large Orange)
Important: At no time should this mixture come to a boil. If it does, throw out and start over. Always stir slowly counter clockwise. From start to finish, the mixture must be stirred at all times.
Combine milk, sugar, egg yolks, orange peel and cook slowly over low heat until mixture looks creamy.
Dissolve corn starch with a little water and add slowly to mixture. Will take around 1 1/2 to 2 hours of slow cooking with constant stirring to cook.
As mixture thickens, remove from fire.

Keeping mixture away from heat, add grated orange and Anise to melted mixture.
Add sugar and eggs, well beaten, to mixture and stir.
When mixed, slowly add flour mixture.
Kneed thoroughly on well floured board.
(This recipe may be cut in half as it makes a lot of dough, or remaining dough may be frozen for up to 6 months and used for Tahrals Cookies.)
The instructions given have been passed down and the directions often include statements as, “Roll out pie dough same as Italian cookies. Roll not too thin or too thick…”
Blind bake the pie dough in a glass pie dish in a 375 degree oven for 15-30 minutes until it is a light golden brown.
