That recipe seems to be the common theme. The common variations are butter,
how much butter, no butter and the amount of flour.

Other variations are substitution of cream and/or cream cheese.

I have made two now with decent results. The first was a basic custard,
heavy on flour.

The second was the same with 1/2 stick of butter. I also added some
cinnamon and nutmeg. This, while totally non-traditional, was a pleasant
surprise.

I think the next will be using a cream substitute and less cinnamon/nutmeg.
After that I will try some cream cheese.

The meringue is a real problem. It is weeping and oozing a ton and causing
a lot of liquid to collect in the BP. I may have to abandon this and go
naked, saving whipped cream for serving only.
