Directions: |
Directions:Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar; slowly beat in sugar until stiff. Add vanilla. Cut brown paper from a shopping bag to fit a cookie sheet. Draw a 12 " circle on the paper and form the meringue on the circle. Build up the sides to hold the filling. Bake meringue on brown paper on cookie sheet at 275º for 1 hour. Turn off oven. Cool 1 hour in the oven. To remove from paper, wet your hand and rub it across the back of the brown paper bag. The meringue should lift off easily.
Filling: Beat 4 egg yolks slightly with the lemon juice in a sauce pan. Beat in sugar. Stir and cook until thick over medium heat. Cool. Fold in 1/2 of whipped cream and save the other half to put on top. |

Notes: I sweeten the second half of the whipped cream with a 1 - 2 T. of powdered sugar and a little vanilla. This recipe is from Alma Parkes Lewis. She often served it for dinner parties. She always put walnuts over the top . . . but I never liked that part as a child.
