Toss together with pastry fork, if it can't be gathered together into a ball add another spoon of cold water. Roll out on floured board until thin. Put in pie tin. Prick all over sides and bottom with fork. Bake at 450º for 10-12 minutes. Cool on rack. To make filling, stir sugar, corn starch, salt and water in top of double boiler until smooth. Place directly on burner over low heat, and cook and stir until boils and thickens. Then place over double boiler bottom and simmering water, and cook covered for 10 minutes. Pour a little of this over 3 beaten egg yolks.. Beat this and add to the mixture in the double boiler. Cook and stir 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter, lemon juice, and lemon rind. Cool and then pour into cooled pie shell. To make meringue, Beat egg whites, water, and cream of tartar at high speed 3 minutes. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time beating in between. Add salt and vanilla. Beat until it will stand in stiff peaks, 4-5 minutes. Spread over lemon in pie shell being careful to seal meringue to crust all the way around. Bake at 400º about 8 minutes until brown. Watch carefully.
