    Categories: Pies, Pastry, Citrus
    Yield: 6 Servings

    Dough for single-crust pie
    1 c Sugar
    1/4 c Cornstarch
    3 tb A-P flour
    1/4 ts Salt
    2 c Water
    3 lg Egg yolks; beaten
    1 tb Butter
    1/4 c Lemon juice
    1 ts Grated lemon zest

    MMMMM--------------------------MERINGUE-------------------------------
    3 lg Egg whites; room temp
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c Sugar

    On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8" thick
    circle; transfer to a 9" pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in.
    beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

    Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

    Line crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with
    pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a
    lower oven rack until edge is golden brown, 20-25
    minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is
    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;
    cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from the 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
    @ 350ºF/175ºC until meringue is golden, 12-15 minutes.
    Cool. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
