Steps:
- 1. Directions for making the pie filling: . Whisk together the first 3 ingredients in a heavy, non-aluminum medium saucepan. Whisk together the egg yokes, milk, and lemon juice in a bowl; whisk into sugar mixture in pan over medium heat. Bring to boil stirring constantly. Boil 1 or 2 minutes longer or until mixture is good and thick. Remove from heat; stir in butter,lemon rind and vanilla extract. Yield: Enough pie filling for 1 (9-inch) pie. Pour into cooled piecrust.Cover with plastic wrap, placing it directly on the filling. (Proceed immediately to the next step to ensure that the meringue is spread over the pie filling while it is still warm.)
- 2. Remove plastic wrap from pie, and spread meringue evenly over warm pie filling, sealing the edges. (Sealing meringue to the outer edge of crust over a hot filling helps keep the meringue from shrinking after it's cooked). Return to a 375-400 degree oven and cook until the meringue is a golden brown.
