How To Make tang pie

  Combine sugar, cornstarch, and water. Mix thoroughly in a saucepan. Gradually stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils. Boil for 1 minute. Stir a SMALL amount of hot mixture into the beaten egg yolks to temper, mixing well. Return to remaining hot mixture. Continue boiling for 1 minute longer, stirring constantly (figure 8's work best). Remove from heat.

  Meringue: Beat the 3 egg whites with 1/8 teaspoon salt until foamy throughout. (I like to add a pinch of cream of tartar) Add 6 Tablespoons sugar, 2 Tablespoons at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Beat until meringue forms stiff shiny peaks.
