Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Make the meringue first, set it aside, and then make the filling. Bake pie crust according to recipe directions. Set aside to cool. Meringue: 1. In a large bowl, whip egg whites until foamy. 2. Gradually add sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. 3. Set aside. Lemon Filling: 1. In medium sauce pan, whisk together 1 cup sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt. 2. Stir in water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. 3. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. 4. Stir in butter (or oleo) 5. Place egg yolks in a small bowl and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture 6. Whisk egg yolk mixture back into remaining sugar mixture. 7. Bring to a boil and continue to cook while stirring constantly until thick. 8. Remove from heat. 9. Pour filling into baked pie shell. 10. Spread meringue over pie, sealing the edges at the crust. 11. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until meringue is golden brown. Serve warm. Enjoy! NOTE: You can use your microwave in any instance where you might use a double boiler or have to stir on the stove. So simple. Mix first 6 ingredients in 4 cup microwave bowl. Cook on high until boils, add butter, and mix hot mixture with egg yolks, return to microwave and bring to boil again. No stirring constantly and no mess. NOTE: To get the moist juice - put a lemon on the counter, then roll it under the palm of your hand, pressing down hard - you're breaking up the membranes and pulp inside, which releases more liquid. If you've got a hard lemon that's not responding to rolling, microwave it for 15 to 20 seconds.
