ß 1 prepared pie crust
ß 1 c. sugar
ß 1/4 c. corn starch
ß 1 1/2 c. cold water
ß 3 egg yolks slightly beaten
ß 1/4 c. lemon juice (use real lemons)
ß 1 T. butter or margarine
ß 3 egg whites
ß 1/3 c. sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan combine cup of sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water until smooth. Stir in egg yolks. While continuing to stir constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 1 min. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice and butter. Spoon hot filling into piecrust. In mixing bowl, beat egg whites at high speed until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/3 cup of sugar; continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread meringue evenly over hot filling, sealing to crust. I like to make peaks on my pie. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.
