Easy Lemon Meringue Pie

Sweet lemon custard-like filling is sandwiched between a flaky pastry dough and topped with a light and airy meringue.

5 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
3 large egg yolks, beaten
1 1/2 cups water, boiling
3 large egg whites
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
Preheat oven to 350°F.
In the top of a double boiler combine cornstarch and 1 cup sugar. Add lemon peel, lemon juice, butter and beaten egg yolks; mix well. Slowly add boiling water. Cook on top of a double boiler over hot water until thick. Remove from heat and let cool.
Bake unbaked pie shell for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Lower oven temperature to 300°F.
Pour the cooled lemon mixture into pie crust; set aside.
In a separate chilled bowl beat egg whites until almost stiff then add 6 tablespoons sugar, a tablespoonful at a time while continuing to beat until stiff. Spread the meringue on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the tips of the meringue have browned.
Makes 8 servings.
