How to Make Lemon Meringue Pie

Step-by-Step

In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt.
Slowly stir in the hot water.
Add the remaining filling ingredients and cook over low heat until the mixture comes to a full boil.
Lower the heat and cook a minute longer. Cool until lukewarm.
Spread the filling into the pie shell.
MERINGUE: Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add the sugar a tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
Spread the meringue on top of the lemon filling and bake in a preheated oven at 325 for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly brown.
