1 cup sugar plus 2 Tbl
3 Tbl cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
4 Tbl lemon juice 2 Tbl butter
4 egg yolks
Pinch of salt
Grated rind of 1 lemon
Combine cornstarch and sugar. Add water slowly, stirring constantly until
thick and smooth. Add slightly beaten egg yolks, butter, lemon rind, juice and
salt. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into baked pie shell. Cover with meringue made
from 3 egg whites beaten stiff and 2 Tbl sugar. Bake in slow oven for 15
minutes or until light brown.
Cool to room temperature before refrigeration to keep from "weeping" meringue.
