lemon pieMy Mother had requests for her lemon pie constantly and now I share her secret!

Ingredients:

Meringue

Directions:

Follow directions on pie filling. When you take the cooked filling off the heat add the butter and lemon juice, stir in and let cool. Pour into baked crust and top with meringue.

Directions for the meringue: Beat egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar until soft peaks form in glass or metal bowl, add sugar two teaspoons at a time until all sugar is absorbed and stiff peaks stand up on a spoon. Spread on cooled pie filling making sure to seal all edges of the pie crust. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees F. Watch carefully burns easily.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until meringue is golden brown. Hint: use 2 tablespoon of flour instead of corn starch & use self rising flour if you like, omit salt if you do, good luck.

Make sure the meringue is spread so it touches the crust all the way around. The crust "grabs" it and stops it from shrinking.
