Directions:
Directions:
Mix flour, sugar and cornstarch. Add boiling water gradually, stirring constantly. Stir and cook 20 minutes over hot water in double boiler. (I use my microwave and a microwave safe bowl, heating on high for 30 seconds at a time, whisking after each time and repeating until mixture is thick.) Beat eggs yolks slightly, add some hot mixture to the eggs while stirring (prevents eggs from curdling) then add all of the eggs to the hot mixture and cook until smooth. Add butter, lemon juice, grated rind, and salt. Mix and pour into baked crust.

Meringue: Beat egg whites slightly, Add baking powder and beat until dry. Add 6 T. sugar gradually and beat until smooth. Cover filling completely to crust (prevents meringue from shrinking away from the edges.) Bake at 350º for 15 minutes.
