    Title: Grandma's Lemon Meringue Pie
    Categories: Pies, Desserts, Citrus
    Yield: 5 Servings

    1 1/4 c Sugar
    1/2 c All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 1/2 c Water
    3 lg Eggs; separated
    1 md Lemon; zest only
    1/3 c Fresh lemon juice
    1 tb Butter
    1 Baked, cooled 9" pie shell

    MMMMM--------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
    3 Egg whites; room temp
    6 tb Sugar
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract
    1/4 ts Cream of tartar

    This is the pie for all the true lovers of Lemon Meringue
    Pie.

    Beat the egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer
    until soft peaks form. With mixer running, add the cream of
    tartar, then gradually add the sugar, a tablespoon at a
    time, and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the vanilla.

    Preheat oven to 350?F.

    Combine the sugar, flour, salt and water in a heavy
    saucepan. Stir constantly over medium-high heat until
    mixture boils. Boil, stirring constantly and vigorously, for
    1 minute. (A long-handled spoon to stir with really helps
    here to get you back from the heat.) Remove from heat.

    Slightly beat the egg yolks in a bowl with a fork. Mix about
    one-third of the boiled mixture with the egg yolks; then
    pour the egg yolk mixture back into the pan with the boiled
    ingredients, and cook for 1 more minute, stirring constantly
    and, again, vigorously. Remove from heat, and add the
    butter.

    Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir to mix thoroughly.

    Pour into cooled, baked 9-inch pie crust and top with
    meringue. Bake in a 350?F oven 12 to 15 minutes or until
    nicely browned.

    Note: Be sure to seal the meringue to the pastry edge when
    spreading it on your pie. To minimize "weeping", spread the
    meringue on the pie filling while the filling is hot. Also,
    remember that meringue pies cut better with a wet knife
    blade.
