On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick

golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
Reduce oven setting to 350°.

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, flour
and salt. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir over
medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat;

Gradually stir 1 cup hot mixture into egg yolks; return
all to saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2
minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, lemon
juice and zest until smooth. Pour into pie crust.

In a bowl, beat egg whites and salt until stiff (but not
dry) peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar until soft
peaks form. Spread over pie, sealing edge to crust. Bake

Cool. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
