Directions:
Combine sugar and cornstarch in a sauce pan. Stir in water and egg yolks. Stir over medium heat until it boils. Boil about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Spoon filling into pie shell.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until a stiff froth. Add sugar gradually while beating until stiff and sugar is dissolved. You should feel no graininess when rubbing a bit of meringue between fingers. Pile onto filling being sure to seal well to pastry all around. Bake near the top of the oven at 350º about 10 to 15 minutes until browned.
