Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350F.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, flour, cornstarch, salt, water, lemon juice, and zest. Heat mixture while stirring until it reaches a boil.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the butter.
-
In a medium bowl, temper the lemon mixture into the egg yolks a little at a time to prevent cooking egg yolks. Then put the entire mixture back into the pan over medium heat. Stir while cooking for 2-3 minutes.
-
Pour pie filling into a pre-cooked pie crust and smooth the surface.
-
In Mixing Bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until foamy. Beat in sugar, one tablespoon at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form and sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Spoon meringue onto filling, spreading to the edge of the crust.
-
Bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until meringue is browned and temperature reaches 160F. Cool on cooling rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate about 4 hours before serving.
