Directions: |
Directions:Mix sugar and flour, add the boiling water slowly and boil until clear, stir constantly. Add butter and gradually, the yolks of eggs beaten lightly. Cook over boiling water until it holds its shape, stirring constantly. Add lemon juice and grated rind. When cool, pour into baked crust. Cover with meringue.
Meringue:
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time; continue beating until stiff and glossy. Beat in vanilla. Do not underbeat.
Spread meringue over top and bake a few minutes to a delicate brown, or bake 15 minutes at 300 degrees to avoid "dew drops". |
