Directions:Preheat your oven to 350º degrees F (175º degrees C).
Lemon Filling:
Step 1: In a medium saucepan you want to whisk together 1 Cup of white sugar, your all purpose flour, cornstarch, and your salt. Next, stir in your water, lemon juice, and lemon zest. You want to cook this over a medium- high heat and keep stirring. Keep doing this until your ingredients come to a boil. After the ingredients come to a boil stir in your butter.
Step 2: Then, place your egg yolks in a bowl and gradually whisk in ½ a Cup of the hot sugar mixture. Take your whisk and whisk your egg yolk mixture back into the pan with the other ingredients. Bring to a boil and continue to cook while stirring until the lemon sauce gets thick. After it is thick go ahead and remove it from the heat and pour your filling into the the baked pastry shell.
Meringue Topping:
Step 1: Take your mixing bowl and place it in the mixer. In the mixing bowl whip your egg whites until they are foamy. Add your sugar GRADUALLY and continue to whip until a peak forms and the meringue is firm enough to place on top of the lemon filling.
Step 2: Take the meringue you just made and place it over the lemon filling. Make sure the meringue is covering all sides of the pie.
Step 3: Bake pie in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown.
