EASIEST LEMON MERINGUE PIE
One-step filling is all made on top of the stove, everything in one pan. This is our family's favorite recipe. Use a prepared pie-crust or look up my "pat-in-the-pan" recipe here at JAP.

Steps:
- 1. Combine sugar, corn starch, & salt in medium saucepan. Stir well. Whisk egg yolks with lemon juice & cold water. When blended add the hot water, butter and zest. Combine with the dry ingredients in the saucepan.
- 2. Using a spatula, cook over medium heat until thick and bubbling, about 10 minutes. Taste for tartness. More lemon juice can be added at this point if desired. Pour into pre-baked pie-shell, set aside. Pre-heat oven to 335-F degrees while you make the fail-proof meringue.
- 3. Meringue: Combine sugar/corn starch in small cup. Set aside. In medium mixing bowl beat egg whites/cream of tartar on low speed until foamy. Start adding sugar/corn starch mixture slowly, speeding up mixer speed as whites stiffen. Beat at highest speed until stiff peaks form and mixture is glossy but not dry.
- 4. Spoon over filling in pie, smoothing out to the edges of the plate. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool at room temp for 3 to 4 hours before refrigerating. For best results do not cover pie. Meringue will stay nice without weeping or sticking to the cutting knife.
