Lemon Meringue Pie

1 baked pie shell
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon flour
2 1/4 cups water
3 egg yolks (beaten)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lemon peel (grated)
6 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed - not concentrate)
3 egg whites
6 tablespoons sugar

In a sauce pan, combine sugar, cornstarch, flour and salt. Gradually stir in boiling water. Cook and stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil and is thick and clear. Stir a little of this mixture into the beaten egg yolks. Pour into mixture and cook a little longer (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and add butter, lemon peel and juice. Pour into the pie shell.

Next beat egg whites and 6 tablespoons of sugar in mixer. Spoon onto the pie and bake at 425 for about 5 minutes.

Cheers,
BD

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

Please send one to my house!
