Directions:
Directions:
Filling: In saucepan, mix first 4 dry ingredients. Slowly add the hot water stirring constantly. Cook over medium high heat stirring continuously until the mixture starts to boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 2 additional minutes continuing to stir. Remove from heat, and take a few tablespoons of the mixture and stir it into the egg yolks. Take the resulting mixture and put it back into the saucepan and return it to heat. Bring the mixture to boiling again and cook another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, while you add in the butter, lemon zest, and the lemon juice. Pour into the baked pie shell.
Meringue: Beat egg whites with vanilla and cream of tarter until peaks begin to form. Add in sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Spread the meringue over the hot filling sealing to the edge of the pie shell. Bake at 350º for 12 minutes or until the meringue starts to lightly brown. Cool before placing into the refrigerator to chill.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I use Pillsbury refrigerated pie shells and bake according to the directions on the package. A serving tip: Dip the knife in water before cutting each slice of pie. It will prevent the Meringue from sticking to the knife and give you a nice clean edge!
