Filling:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium sized saucepan, cook sugar, cornstarch, salt, butter and milk until thick, stirring often so that the mixture doesn't burn on the bottom. Temper the eggs by pouring a small amount of the mixture into the beaten yolks; stir; add back to the rest of the mixture. Bring to a boil; cook for 2 minutes. Pour the filling into a warm crust.
Meringue:
Beat egg whites in a mixer until frothy; add cream of tartar, powdered sugar, cornstarch and vanilla; continue beating until soft peaks form. Spread on hot filling, making sure meringue is out to the edge of the crust.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Let cool for at least 2-3 hours before cutting or putting in the refrigerator.
