 | | Directions |
- Crust: combine flour, shortening, and salt, and mix until well blended. Form dough into a ball and then flatten. Roll out dough and put into a 9 inch pie plate.
- Bake at 350°F until crust is golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Filling: combine sugar, cornstarch and salt in a sauce pan.
- Beat egg yolks and cold water together and add to the mix in the sauce pan. Add lemon juice and butter, and then the boiling water. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for one minute.
- Remove from the heat and pour into the baked pie crust.
- Meringue: beat egg whites until stiff, and then add the powdered sugar and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff enough to form peaks.
- Spread on pie filling and bake at 350°F until meringue is golden brown. It is best to let the pie cool before serving to allow the filling to firm up.
