Lemon Meringue Pie is my favorite. Say no more!
1 pre-baked pie crust (see pie crust recipe)
1 ½ c. sugar
½ c. cornstarch
¼ tsp. salt
2 ¼ c. water
1 Tbsp. grated lemon peel
4 egg yolks
1 baked pie crust
3 Tbsp. butter
½ c. lemon juice
For the meringue:
5-6 egg whites (at room temperature)
¼ tsp cream of tartar
½ c. sugar
In a medium-sized saucepot, bring sugar, cornstarch, salt, water, and lemon peel to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and mix in with wire whip 4 egg yolks. Return to heat for 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whisk in 3 T. butter, then ½ c. lemon juice. Pour into pie crust and cool.
Meringue topping: In a mixing bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add ½ c. sugar beating until stiff peaks form.
Top pie with meringue and bake at 325 about 10 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Chill until set.
